Quality on the Orange Line

This is a limited-edition print, part of a three-part series featuring the Buckingham neighborhood, part of Washington Metro’s [Orange Line] completed in June 1986.

This series was inspired by the history of automobile. In 1886 Karl Benz registered the first patent of gas-powered vehicle in the industry. After World War II, a “Car Boom” in the United States drives the need for city planning to a higher level. The cars cause distribution of the traditional city settlement and created urban sprawl.

Nowadays the convenient Washington Metropolitan Area Transit system brings people back to the city and enjoy city life.

We want to invite you to dream how people can still enjoy a high quality of life in such a dense neighborhood.
