In this first installment of Architects That Don’t Suck, I’d like to highlight the work of Washington D.C.-based architect David M. Schwarz. Hey, whaddya know — not all contempo architects specialize in gleaming modernist geegaws. Some builders out there actually respect context, history, and beauty all while subsuming their ego to the larger needs of the project. I dig the variety of styles, colors, and materials Schwarz uses. Kudos also to the developers who had the sense to commission these works.
