D.C. Builds
Any national museum, no matter how broad its mission, is also fundamentally linked to the community in which it is physically located. The National Building Museum celebrates its connection to Washington through a lecture series called D.C. Builds, which explores design, planning, and development issues in the capital and surrounding region.
Upcoming Programs
Along the Waterfronts June 24, 2013 Washington, D.C. was built on the banks of two rivers, the Potomac and the Anacostia, yet through industrial use, pollution, and neglect, the city has generally turned its back on its waterfronts. Panelists discuss how D.C. is moving from indifference to engagement with its rivers and share what’s needed to protect these valuable natural resources while providing places to live, work, and play along their banks.
