Architecture is in the news. I’m in Houston to write about the Museum of Fine Arts’ new building, designed by Steven Holl, which opened a few weeks ago. I’ll also write about the newly renovated Rothko Chapel, which is a gem — and in Houston, too. Before I do these stories, though, I want to look at architecture news that broke a few days before Christmas.
It seems the Mall in Washington might get two new museums in brand-new buildings. And Zeus sent a thunderbolt from Mount Olympus: The classical style, dating from the time of the Greek temple, is now mandated for a swath of new federal government buildings.
