Description
A new landmark, one of the most important presidential monuments of this century, is heralded in this detailed account of its creation.Scheduled to open in Washington, D.C. in spring 1997, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial has been in the making for over 25 years. Designed by noted San Francisco landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, the FDR Memorial consists of four outdoor garden "rooms" connected by tree-shaded passageways. Giving shape to this sequence of spaces is a rusticated red show more Dakota granite wall, 12 feet high and 800 feet long. Through photographs, plans, and drawings, this book traces the history of the last presidential memorial to be erected in the nation's capital in this century. show lessTags
