UNLV student Alma Perez’s American Dream is to one day work as an accountant, which she is studying for. But as an undocumented immigrant who was brought to the U.S. at the age of 4, she’s not permitted to legally work, and has resorted to construction labor alongside her father, said the 20-year-old woman.

Reyna Valdivias, a recent Nevada State University (NSU) graduate said that although she has a college degree in business administration, she works alongside her father in landscaping and construction. That’s because 12 years after it was created, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program remains enmeshed in the court system and closed to new recipients, precluding many immigrants illegally brought to the U.S. as children from getting work authorizations and pursuing their preferred careers.

Imposing monsters or iconic landmarks? That’s the question at the center of Capital Brutalism, a new exhibit at the National Building Museum exploring the architectural style that seemingly defines our nation’s capital.

Architectural Record

Two new exhibitions at the National Building Museum (NBM) in Washington, D.C., examine particular strains of Modernism in different places—and then wonder what could be or what might have been. Capital Brutalism looks at the architectural style that found fertile soil in D.C, in the 1960s and 1970s and later became the type of design the public loved to hate. Focusing on seven polarizing examples of Brutalism, it presents brief histories of these projects and then offers an alternative future for six of them. The other exhibition, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Southwestern Pennsylvania, shows a range of works designed by the architect from the 1930s through the 1950s in Pittsburgh and the area around Fallingwater, the landmark house he created for department store magnate Edgar J. Kaufmann. For five of those projects—ones that weren’t built—Skyline Ink Animators + Illustrators has produced animated films that depict what they would have been had they been realized.

Turnout in last week’s state primaries dropped significantly from the 2020 and 2022 primaries, with fewer Nevadans participating across almost all counties. As of Friday morning, about 380,000 votes had been counted in the primary, a decrease of roughly 20 percent from the past two cycles. Despite the dropoff, voting by mail continued to dominate, as a greater share of Democrats and Republicans chose to vote by mail than two years ago, while the share of in-person voting decreased.
