NEAT-O Architecture

This is the Broadcast education association in DuPont. very dark and old Brutalist type style that DC is known for.
Here you see the FBI building in the back a more Brutalist type architecture from the mid 60's 70's, The center building is more modern maybe a couple years old, and the Front building which houses a hotel and Gordon Biersch brewery restaurant, is a style of Beaux-Arts architecture.

Here again this whole block had run down buildings and empty lots, the past 10 years have been good to downtown DC, with major renovations of old buildings and new ones popping up next to them. Ultra modern buildings next to old beaux-arts.


Low level buildings from the old days of DC. these used to hold stores, now this area is mostly clubs and bars.


They took an old ugly building and totally renovated it and put ultra modern looking glass for a great look. to the right you can see the Cathedral of St. Matthews.
