Location: Washington, DC

National Museum of American Women

A Design Scheme that Connects to its Studied Context with a Feminine Sense   

While studying the patterns of Washington DC development. I discovered a relationship between The White House, US Capitol, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and the proposed site location. The way the points meet from those various places to the site drove the concept of my design. The main vision of the proposed design is to relate and connect with the geometric context of Washington DC, and also give a feminine sense of motherly care/ warm welcoming as the building reach out on the site. Some of the angles from the floor plan was extended out to form a pattern for the landscape.
