In place of the old Convention Centre, smaller buildings will be sprouted up, a shift from the usual build-it-huge attitude towards architecture in urban areas. Four new buildings along with a handful of others including hotels, offices, apartments, restaurants and retail spaces will be built on this part of the city. Also, those good old alleyways hailing back from the 18th Century will be given new life and widened out too. And the best part, this whole design is meant to be eco-friendly, with low carbon emissions. The design also includes the use of green roofs that will absorb water.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nWater conservation will also be part of the design\u2019s green strategies, recycling 100% of the waste water for reuse. To open out the area to nature, a public park will also be built, besides several fountains, all watered by the recycled waste water. Washington D.C. is sure to enjoy this dash of green!<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_image\/0411\/12\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects2.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_image\/0411\/12\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects2.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=1000,height=2582,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects2-thumb-450x1161.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"1161\" alt=\"Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_image\/0411\/12\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects3.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_image\/0411\/12\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects3.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=1000,height=1071,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects3-thumb-450x481.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"481\" alt=\"Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects3.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_image\/0411\/12\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects4.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_image\/0411\/12\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects4.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=750,height=567,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects4-thumb-450x340.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"340\" alt=\"Washington-DC-Redevelopment_Projects4.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldarchitecturenews.com\/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&#038;upload_id=16369\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">WorldArchitectureNews<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Work on Foster + Partner\u2019s redevelopment of the old Convention Centre in Washington D.C. finally kicked off recently and will be one of America\u2019s largest urban redevelopment projects.
