Frank Gehry, the American architect known for his expressive, sculptural buildings, has revised the design for a memorial honoring President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Gehry’s original concept for the memorial, which will be located near the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was rejected by the National Capital Planning Commission back in April.
Representatives for the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission presented the design to the Planning Commission on September 4, and were met with largely positive responses.
