That’s not a typo. This summer the National Building Museum has a “high-concept“ one-of-a-kind mini golf coursewith holes created by design bigwigs like Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, OLIN, Inscape Studio, Wiencek + Associates Architects + Planners, and STUDIOS Architecture, among others. There’s even an entry designed by Virginia Techstudents in conjunction with the American Society of Landscape Architects. (A full list is available here.)
Visitors to the museum’s website can even vote for their favorite mini golf hole. In addition, a Best In Show prize will be determined by a jury of designers. If you’d like to see it for yourself, and maybe even play a few holes, the course will be there until September 3, 2012.

The “Pool K” by dmvA Architecten was built on a rooftop in Belgium, but unlike most rooftop pools, it has had the views blocked out by tall , blank white walls. Is it escapism? Or a modernist ego gone wild? [Architizer]
