Several Significant Sites

National Gallery of Art (East Wing)
A sculptural work of art in itself, the National Gallery of Art is a complex interweaving of two- and three-dimensional geometries. Architect I.M. Pei simply split the trapezoid into two overlapping triangles; the larger, isosceles triangle contains gallery space, while the smaller, right triangle contains offices. Other significant structures designed by Dr. Pei include the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, and the Miho Museum in Japan.

Fallingwater
Possibly the most famous design by Frank Lloyd Wright, America's most prominent architect, the structure evokes the principle of the International Style in its horizontal planes and remarkable beams of reinforced concrete. The overall design and its integration into the environment mark it as an individual work of genius. Wright designed over 1,000 structures in his long career, many of them private homes and churches. Other classic examples of Wright structures include the Robie House in Chicago, a premier example of the prarie style of which Wright was a champion, the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, whose ingenious design allowed the building to survive a devastating earthquake in 1923.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
The names of the Americans killed or missing as a result of the undeclared war in the Southeast Asia is inscribed in this black marble slash in the Mall. This confrontation personalizes everyone's visit, as names replace the secrecy of numbers, and as faces reflected in the highly polished black granite turn viewers into participant. The living meets the dead. Architect Lin, who submitted the contest-winning design while still a student, said she envisioned the memorial as a symbol of regeneration.
