African American History Month: Langston Terrace Dwellings
Did you know that there are African American New Deal communities in our region too? Let's learn more about the Langston Terrace Dwellings in Washington, D.C.
Constructed from 1935-38, the Langston Terrace Dwellings were designed by African American architect Hilyard Robinson, whose overseas travels and studies inspired its modern, Bauhaus-influenced International style.
Robinson, like many Modernist architects of the era, believed housing architecture could be transformative and visually pleasing. Langston Terrace Dwellings included public art such as this one by Lenore Thomas Straus, who also created works in Greenbelt.

I visited Langston Terrace once-seeing those Bauhaus-inspired designs and public art from the 1930s really stuck with me. How do you turn something this historic into a deep fried meme? Well, honestly, using a deep fried meme generator with pixel blocks and adjusted contrast gives it this wild retro-modern vibe that somehow matches the raw energy of the buildings. 中文评论
