Building Anacostia
Utilizing building block motifs, the mark’s frame of reference can slip from architectural to social. Much like the community museum itself, the ACM brick mark marries the ideas of place, people, time & history, simultaneously looking to the past while firmly placed in the present and future.
The conceptual foundation for the ACM Brick Mark lies in the idea of “social masonry.”ACM’s Brick forms can simultaneously get at the idea of history, through architectural reference of the site, and community; a social building, constructed not as a whole, but of many individual, varying parts.
