architects from across the country reimagined the future of the Tidal Basin and
National Mall. Explore their designs

UPDATE: THE JOURNEY TO PROTECT BEARS EARS

sites—under the Antiquities Act of 1906—were rolled back and limited. Learn

THE METICULOUS RESTORATION OF NASA'S MISSION CONTROL AT HOUSTON'S JOHNSON SPACE
CENTER
Apollo Mission Control Center at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston was named
a National Historic Landmark in 1985. But by that time, it had been renovated to
serve as the center of operations for the shuttle program, and many of its
original 1960s-era furnishings had been removed. In 2017, the space center’s
historic preservation officer, Sandra Tetley, stepped in along with Stern and
Bucek Architects to fully restore the historic room. Learn how the team used
interviews, blueprints, and other archival material to recreate the room that
helped humanity reach the moon.
