Jason Long spoke about architecture and the various buildings he had helped with designing.
First was the 11 Street Bridge Park. This combined art with functionality in many ways. It's interesting because it's an elevated park, which was a first for Washington DC. It kind of reminds me of the High Line in New York City.
Another building was the Lucas Cultural Art Museum. It was designed to almost "float" so that it wouldn't block the view of the lake.
All of the buildings that Long spoke of seemed to take the environment around them into account, so that the building and the land had a nice flow. I liked that, because I feel as though that is an important aspect to architecture that a lot of people don't normally think about.
