It demonstrates the commission's

mania for symmetry, harmony, and

building groups rather than individual

buildings.

It also demonstrates its power.

A city designed as a work of

art":preservation of the area's natural

beauty for future generations.

South of the monument were projected

sites both for a principal memorial

honoring the founding fathers and for

facilities for indoor and outdoor sports."

In addition, a monument to Lincoln wasplanned for the reclaimed swampland

west of the Washington Monument, as

well as Memorial Bridge leading to

Arlington Cemetery

government, a combined civic and cultural

CAPITOL BUILDING IN FOCUS, FILLING A ROLE THAT IS FUNTIONAL,SYMBOLIC, AND SCULPTURAL


13/15

At the opposite end of the monumental core

stood the Washington Monument, anchoring

the two axes of power--the Capitol and the

White House.

AXIS OF MALL

A grand avenue in the center of the mall

A line of white palaces, one on each side of the

avenue, extending along its entire length system of

radiating streets garden, with radiating avenuesand walks.

Two focal points from which several streets radiate

The whole city was planned with a view to the

reciprocal relations that should exist among

public buildings.


14/15

The origin of the National Mall is as old as the

capital city. The open space and parklands

envisioned by Pierre L'Enfant plan create an

ideal stage for national expressions of

remembrance, observance and protest.
