Funny how every unused Eisenhower memorial proposal looks better than what was actually built
-
The architecture of Washington D.C. is fascinating. It's the most classical of all US cities.
-
Theodore Roosevelt does have his own national memorial island in the Potomac in DC. It has a statue of the man flanked by large slabs of stone upon which are engraved famous speeches if his. It’s a nice shaded and out of the way place to visit when you’re tired of rushing against the rest of the tourist rat pack.
-
A memorial to Teddy Roosevelt was built across the river in Arlington on Roosevelt Island. It is hidden at the center of the forest on the island and is quite beautiful.

It's an absolute shame they never chose any of the contradictory proposals for an Eisenhower monument. It would have fit for a person of such relevancy in not just a national scale, but internationally. It was nice that there is was a correlation on George Washington's humility and that of Ike's.
-
As a person who lives about an hour and a half from D.C by train. An Eisenhower peace arc would have been instantly iconic and helped draw visitors to the south side of the national mall.

I’d love more videos like this! Maybe in other cities like Vienna or Paris!!
-
The Classical Roman designs for Eisenhower's memorial were superior in my opinion. Not a huge fan of this post-brutalist, non-ornamentation thing.
-
I wish that more of the modern memorials in DC still incorporated classical architecture. Modern design isn’t bad but they aren’t as memorable or iconic.
-
I really liked the idea of combining mixed use neighborhoods into memorials. Combined in larger networks we’d get elaborately artistic cities with plazas and green space. Each neighborhood would of course work with the others to transition and phase into eachother
-
The Lincoln Memorial overlooking the city would have been amazing, especially at night
-
I’ve been looking forward to this. :)

T'es vidéos sont toujours un plaisir à regarder
-
5:20 I must say, I really like the openness of the proposed Lincoln Memorial. Seeing the light coming through adds to the "majestic" sense for me, as opposed to the recessed alcove thing they actually built.
-
I know I keep saying this but watching your videos is just a whole other experience. The soothing music paired with the beautiful images and your voice makes for such a pleasant video. I always appreciate humanity more after every upload, keep it up
-
I really like the original bridge design, but it would have been too big for the site, I suppose. And the women't building would have been fabulous, also. Thank you for the video!

This whole channel is so wide ranging in content and subject matter that it's just a matter of time until the algorithm recognizes the quality here.

thank you and keep up the great work

Our Juche Tower rivals the Washington Monument. Our Juche Tower measures 558 feet/170 m while the Washington Monument measures 555 feet/169 m. It opened in 1982 to commemorate my grandpa's seventieth birthday. It contains 25,550 blocks, one block for each day of my grandpa's life up until that point. And it serves as the backdrop for our holiday firework shows

Is see a lot of Friedrich Schinkel there. Thanks for sharing.
