Each year, the National Building Museum presents an ambitious exhibition schedule that engages visitors with diverse topics and stimulating ideas. Fiscal year 2003 was no different. The Museum opened ten exhibitions, starting with a look at the infrastructure of our country and how it supports our lifestyles, and ending with an examination of how elevators, escalators, and moving sidewalks have shaped our world as we know it. In between, the Museum offered the public a big slice of “green architecture,” also referred to as environmentally- sensitive or sustainable architecture, among other exciting shows.

Me, Myself and Infrastructure: Private Lives and Public Works in America

October 4, 2002 – February 16, 2003 Me, myself, and what? The infrastructure necessary to make the American lifestyle possible is often overlooked. Traffic lights, coffee shops, big-box stores, office cubicles —they are part of the daily routine. But civil engineers work hard at designing and managing the infrastructure that permits taking hot showers, talking on cell phones, and driving over (or under) bodies of water. Me, Myself and Infrastructure gave this complex web of structures—and the civil engineers who make it possible—center stage, and asked visitors to think about their personal lifestyle choices. Questions like “Is it available?” and “Is it safe?” encouraged people to think about their tap water, running freely at a moment’s notice from their kitchen faucets, and city side- walks, which allow pedestrians to travel safely from place to place. Me, Myself and Infrastructure was accompanied by a cata- log, made available in the Museum Shop.

Do It Yourself: Home Improvement in 20th-Century America

And you aren’t alone. Do It Yourself: Home Improvement in 20th-Century America traced the do-it-yourself craze back to its 19th-century origins, and examined the historical, social, and cultural contexts that made it possible. Do-it-yourself became a widespread cultural phenomenon in the 1950s and 1960s and is now enjoying unparalleled growth.

Pentagon Memorial Competition— Stage One Entry Display

October 30 – November 9, 2002 Soon after the Pentagon was attacked by terrorists on September 11, 2001, Congress authorized the Secretary of Defense to establish a permanent memorial on the Pentagon grounds. This mission was then handed to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which worked with the Museum to present the first set of competi- tion entries in the Great Hall just after the one-year anniversary of the attack. More than 1,000 architects, artists, designers, school children, and members of the general public from around the world submitted concepts for a Pentagon Memorial. More than 80 of those entries were selected for display at the Museum. The memorial concepts represented an enormous range of ideas and powerfully felt responses to this tragedy.

One of the featured projects was a New York City skyscraper at Times Square that generates a portion of its elec- tricity from the sun and other renewable sources. Another project was the proposed Jets Stadium, also in New York, which would not only generate enough power for the stadium complex itself, but also pro- vide additional power to the surrounding city. A recyclable, portable skyscraper that could be erected in two weeks stretched the imagination further. Trucks at its base could provide not only transportation to different locations, but also fuel and water for the people who work inside.

Kids’ View of the City

May 6 – July 6, 2003 What do kids think about their cities and their neighborhoods? The exhibition Kids’ View of the City gave children a chance to share their ideas and thoughts on their hometown. For one year, students from three D.C. schools examined the District’s neighborhoods through the lens of design. Kids’ View of the City showed off their findings, showcasing their models of buildings, Building Images: bridges, and streetscapes, plus photographs, Seventy Years of Photography original writings, and a mural. Some of the at Hedrich Blessing projects highlighted Japanese architecture, reflecting the students’ investigation into April 30 – July 27, 2003 how Japanese culture has influenced “Don’t make photographs, think them.” Ken Washington, D.C.

18 PRIZES

The Vincent Scully Prize

In 1966, Robert Venturi published the groundbreaking Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, a head-on attack of 20th-cen- tury modernism that ushered in the post- modern age of architecture. Through built work, as well as other writings such as Learning from Las Vegas, Venturi and his wife and design partner, Denise Scott Brown, have argued that contextual design can include the accommodation of both unity and disunity, harmony and dissonance. As The Henry C.
