Cues from Modern Architecture

Modern materials screen on a street in D.C......modern grandog enjoys the walk!

jill here....On a recent visit to D.C.,  I walked to The Textile Museum.  Beautiful day, wonderful architecture and the trees and flowers were at their top! The museum, set among homes in a charming neighborhood, is always worth a visit.  I've never seen quilts but the fabrics, tapestries and carpets are inspirational.

Once a home, the museum is located in Dupont Circle.

Most of the neighborhoods in this city are old and elegant but there are transitions to the modern.

Simple modern angles in metal have been added to an older facade.

Love the modern color scheme and variations in depth and asymmetry.

Even smelled good!

Once a laundry, now a charter school, the style is reminiscent of 30's modern.

Great negative and positive graphic.

Old style, modern paint.

Check out the architecture in your neighborhood. 'Till next Tuesday!
