CHENARCH

Richard Chenoweth specializes in transit architecture, residential architecture, architecture history, historic preservation, and visualization... Lourie & Chenoweth LLC, won an international design competition for the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority's (WMATA) prototypical canopy design in 2001. Richard was the Principal Designer during the competition and the Metro Canopy Pilot Program. Since then, Richard and Jon together have designed about fifty canopies throughout the Washington DC region. Some of the canopies can be seen in this slideshow... One of the goals for the design was to create an iconic transit structure for Washington DC in the spirit of Burnham's Union Station and Saarinen's Dulles Airport terminal. The canopy has become iconic in its own right, as a symbol and a beacon of the Metro in DC, Virginia, and Maryland.
