the arts and industries building and a modest proposal

dcist had a post about the arts and industries building.
my comment in answer to their question, what should it become:

A center for the building arts, obviously.

with inspiration from the building arts expo at a folklife festival some years back, the SI could institute, along with their decorative arts programs a school, technical institute and demonstration area for the building and architectural decoration arts.
