I have always *loved* the old Dept of Energy building.the 'James V. Forrestal Building' built 1966-1969, just off (on?) L'Enfant Plaza.
orig for the dept of defense
(the little pentagon) but given over to the DoE upon it's charter.Cantilevel
thus gets to radiate & mediate heat&cooling from all 6 sides!Perfect analogy of the US.
