Moore began his professional practice in 1965 and is best known for expanding the purview of the country’s nascent Preservation Movement, from the restoration of historic manor houses to re-purposing urban industrial structures. His first project––Canal Square, in Washington D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood––was the earliest recognized manifestation of combining an old mercantile building with major new construction.

Moore is also known for the Washington Harbour development on the Potomac River in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., the Goh Annex of the Phillips Collection also in Washington, D.C., and the renovation and modernization of the Thomas Jefferson and John Adams buildings of the Library of Congress, the Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue, and the renovation of Washington D.C.'s tallest residential building, the Cairo Hotel.

Early life
"Tanglebank," Arthur Cotton Moore's childhood home.

Arthur Cotton Moore spent his early years at “Tanglebank,” his grandparents’ Victorian house off Connecticut Avenue in the Kalorama neighborhood of NW Washington, D.C., now the site of a new People's Republic of China building providing housing for its embassy personnel.

Moore’s maternal grandfather was Admiral Ridley McLean. His father, Captain Charles Godwin Moore, Jr., served during both World Wars. His mother was the granddaughter of Thomas Monroe Gale, whose house in the Kalorama neighborhood is now the Myanmar Embassy. Moore is a relative by marriage of Senator James McMillan of Michigan, Chairman of the 1900 McMillan Commission, which authored the second Master Plan of the National Mall (McMillan Plan).

Style

Moore has described his architectural style in his non-preservation work as Modernism with Baroque sensibilities. Some have referred to this style as “post-postmodernism.” [1] It is a lighter, even an entertaining modern interpretation of the exuberant style that flourished in Europe from the middle of the 17th century to the early 18th century. ''People are tired of endless grid-crunching,'' Moore said. ''Baroque deals with modern design's fear and loathing of the curve - just what I think is missing in modern design.'' [1]

Notable Projects
  • Canal Square in Georgetown, is a landmarked 19th-century warehouse and the former home of the Tabulating Machine Company, a direct precursor of IBM. It was re-adapted with new construction in 1970 at a cost of US$2.5 million. Located alongside the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in the then-neglected industrial waterfront area, the project repurposed the warehouse by joining it with a sympathetic modern addition, bringing new life to the area. This led to similar programs across the country in a practice that became to be known as “adaptive reuse,” using existing building equity in a strategic way as an alternative to the devastation brought about by urban renewal and other economic development programs. Eighty-four articles on Canal Square were published in national and international newspapers, magazines, and books.

Master Planning
  • “Master Plan of the National Mall, Expanded for the 21st Century” (2017) was published in Moore’s book “Our Nation’s Capital: Pro Bono Publico Ideas” (2017),[2] the Washington Business Journal (January 2018) and Washingtonian Magazine (May 2018).
  • Master Planning Policy Papers for New Towns. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (1969)
  • Master Planning Research on Urban Waterfronts. Project No. C-2141 (1971). Supported under the Title II provisions of the Water Resources Research Act of 1964 and funded by the Office of Water Resources, U.S. Department of the Interior. The goal was to introduce master planning to urban waterfronts, as an incentive to the then-awakening efforts to recharge the United States’ cradle of development. Bright, Breathing Edges of City Life: Amenity Benefits of Urban Water Resources was the first definitive look at this specific development effort, and was the best-seller on the list of Government Printing Office publications at that time.
