City of Washington DC Museum

D.C. is a city of landmarks. New buildings must be cohesive and mindful that their significance is determined on their ability to fit into this category. Furthermore, the experience of awe-inspiring spaces is a repetitive characteristic throughout every museum and monument in city of Washington. This direct effect conveys the significance of a structure before the input of any other information. This sense of awe in the spaces offers a point of reflection for the individual to form their own relationship between the relevance of the structure and the city. Without this space the building can be deemed unsuccessful because the public has no chance to form a personal connection to the context of the building. This gives the museum an identity, essentially justifying why the visitor should explore the building.
