Celebrate national DOCOMOMO Tour Day in Washington by participating in a walking tour of Southwest DC! This neighborhood boasts the greatest concentration of modern architecture and mid-century resources in the city, with buildings and landscapes by I.M. Pei, Chloethiel Woodard Smith, Harry Weese, Sasaki Walker and Partners, and Dan Kiley, to name a few. The tour will begin with a 30-minute lecture by noted architectural historian Richard Longstreth, followed by walking tours led by Nancy Witherell, Cecille Chen, and Dean Hutchison. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to see some of the neighborhood’s most noted interior spaces and projects, including Arena Stage, Waterfront Tower, River Park, and Harbour Square. We will cap the afternoon off with a reception on the rooftop Club Room at Harbour Square, overlooking the Potomac River.
