Architects Take a Swing at Mini Golf

Why waste your time trying to angle a put into the gaping maw of a clown–or past a revolving windmill–when you can use a round of mini golf to reflect on the importance of green roofs, ponder the evolution of the office, or consider the utopian lineage of the sphere? These opportunities and more await you in Washington, D.C. at the National Building Museum, which has just opened an indoor Mini Golf exhibition in the form of eighteen holes designed and built by Washington-area architects, landscape architects, and contractors.
