Never Built Virginia Gallery Talk

The exhibit Never Built Virginia will be open to the public/members of the Richmond Chapter of the AIA.

Vincent Brooks, Senior Local Records Archivist, will give a short presentation on the creation of the exhibit.

From Thomas Jefferson's design of the Virginia State Capitol to Northern Virginia's soaring post-modern structures of glass and steel, the Commonwealth' s architectural triumphs are well-documented. But what of those that never made it beyond the drawing board? Never Built Virginia will explore a variety of proposed architectural projects from around the commonwealth that remained unbuilt because the architecture was too radical, because funding collasped, or because they lost favor with their patrons. Never Built Virginia offers examples of structures that never were and poses the question, "What if?'

The Library of Virginia, on Broad Street between 8th and 9th streets. There is limited parking at the Library of Virginia in the underground deck.

Refreshments will be served.
