The On Architecture exhibition highlights quoted criticisms, opinions, or ideas about the built world around us by architects from around the globe who are connected to the Washington, DC region through projects or practice.

Reading their words, learn how architects observe, process, and examine the objects and voids within our communities. But architects aren’t the only voices speaking about architecture. Discover amusing, thought-provoking, or otherwise romantic words by figures from other walks of life—artists, politicians, writers—who offer their own thoughts on architecture.
