Staying Power: Livable Communities for Virginia & AIA150 America’s Favorite Architecture
The Virginia Center for Architecture celebrates the 150th anniversary of the American Institute of Architects. Discover real-life case studies from a wide variety of Virginia communities – ranging from the urban centers in the northern, central, and Tidewater regions to the smaller cities, towns, and rural areas of the western and southern parts of the state at Livable Communities for Virginia. Underlying all these projects are values that promote sustainable design and planning using 10 Principals for Livable Communities. AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture recognizes America’s favorite buildings, bridges, monuments and memorials. Choose your favorites and see how they compare to the ones selected by others.
Curated by Peyton Boyd, AIA/Virginia Center for Architecture.
On Permanent Exhibit
The House That Pope Built
A permanent exhibit on the Virginia Center for Architecture headquarters building, built in 1919 by architect John Russell Pope, FAIA. Pope is renowned for the design of a number of national landmarks, including the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the U.S. National Archives, and the National Gallery of Art (West Building) in Washington, D.C., as well as Richmond's Union Station, headquarters of the Science Museum of Virginia. The House That Pope Built includes photographs, narrative, and other educational media that shed light on the house -- a 27,000-square-foot Tudor-Revival mansion -- in addition to John Kerr Branch, the patron who commissioned its construction; the architect; the house's interiors; its setting on Richmond's historic Monument Avenue; and Compton Wynyates, the 15th/16th-century English country house that inspired the building's design.
