Gyo Obata’s National Museum of Air and Space has been likened to an elegant airplane hangar. The building’s national Mall façade is made up of four monolithic blocks of the same pink Tennessee marble used on the National Gallery West and East buildings. The blocks are connected by a bronze glass rectangle that runs the entire length of the building. The structure successfully blends classical and modern elements.
