Washington Post - Philip Freelon

"On Tuesday morning, architect Phil Freelon will watch a symbolic shovel break ground on a five-acre site for a new museum adjacent to the Washington Monument...The museum’s design is the result of an intense collaboration among Freelon and two other architects: David Adjaye and the late Max Bond... Freelon, now the museum’s architect of record, specializes in designing spaces that weave together the nation’s history, fabric and culture."
