I need help remembering a building I saw online a few months ago. There is a museum in the DC metro area, possibly Bethesda, being built by a somewhat prominent DC architect. From what I remember, it was added space for an existing collection. It seemed like the building was near completion and held a prime spot on the architect's website. It was a nice building, and was more object in landscape rather than integrated in immediate urban context.
Things I cannot remember:
The name of the institution it serves
The name of the architect
A general description of the building
The program of the building
Essentially, if anyone can discuss new work in this area, I may be able to remember what I saw. Perhaps it was all a dream and I made up the existence of this building, but I don't think that is the case.
