Scaffolding

For years, the building shared by the National Portrait Gallery and the Museum of American Art was closed for renovation. The museums finally reopened but work continued on a glass roof that would span the courtyard. This was the view as the roof was being built. I love the layers of grids in different colors, and the fact that while so much of this view consists of strict verticals and horizontals, there is, to me, a feeling of controlled chaos.
