The Robert C. Weaver Federal Building, the headquarters of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is a significant architectural landmark in Washington, D.C. Designed by modernist architect Marcel Breuer and completed in 1968, the building is named after Robert C. Weaver, the first African American to serve in a cabinet-level position. Its design features Brutalist elements with a distinct curvilinear facade, reflecting Breuer’s vision of functionality and modernism. This building not only symbolizes the federal commitment to urban development but also stands as a testament to the progressive architectural movements of the 20th century.
