This illustrated volume tells the story of the planning, design, and construction of the new Udvar-Hazy Center, a story that begins with the project's earliest conception in the 1970s. Planning formally commenced in 1993 when Congress approved $8 million for the design of the "Dulles Extension" and the selection of an airport site. Throughout the process, the project remained true to its original goal: to design and construct a building that would meet the special needs of the collection and accommodate millions of visitors, while still blending in with the airport environment. The solution was a practical yet incredibly elegant building, featuring a massive vaulted space reminiscent of the old airship hangars. The 760,000-square-foot Center will house over 200 aircraft. An adjoining hangar is designed for some 135 space artifacts. Classrooms, an IMAX theater, museum store, food court, and support spaces round out the first phase. Phase II will include restoration and conservation facilities, the archives, and customized collections storage. This massive home for some of the world's most important aviation and space artifacts opened in December 2003 and attracted over 1 million visitors during its first 6 months.
Employing a mix of running text, special-feature sidebars, design drawings, and stunning large-format action and progress photographs, the author takes the reader behind the scenes. She brings to life the details of the design, engineering, and construction processes - such as raising the massive aviation hangar roof - and explores the challenges and demands faced by the project team, of which she was a key member.
