Build It - They'll Come - The NYTimes has a good roundup of the museum-building spree going on in Washington, DC these days. The most prominent is the National Museum of the American Indian, which is rising next to Air and Space on one of the last remaining empty sites on the National Mall. And though I used to drive by it all the time, I had forgotten that the expansion of the Corcoran will feature Washington's first Frank Gehry. Combine that with Rafael Vinoly's Kennedy Center expansion, and we could be in for some interesting new architecture (finally!) over the next few years.
