WWI Memorial Concept

The style of the monument is inspired by the time of the great war. The general layout is based on an ellipse with the main sequence space to the center, relocate Pershing Memorial in the east, a new monument to the cavalry horse in the west, and an urban picnic and family area to the north the prominent victory tower is planted on a centralized, raised bluff and setback from the street in a beautiful garden park setting. From Pennsylvania Avenue it appears that the tower is the destination, however, once inside the visitor immediately begins to descend into the heart of the monument. As the visitor moves down, the walls move up and in.
