This kaleidoscopic survey of architecture and design traces the federal government's role in shaping America's built environment from L'Enfant's baroque plan for Washington, D.C. to the space-age technology of Cape Canaveral. Its rich exhibit of documents and photographic material accompanied by a lively text reveal the U.S. government to be one of the most active, and at times most creative, patrons of architecture and design.
