US Navy Memorial / Market Square
Washington, D.C.
This
project encompasses the design of a new urban plaza and park, Market
Square, and the U.S. Navy Memorial at its center.
The
Memorial consists of a great circular stone map of the world surrounded by
nearly an acre of symbolic ocean in
the form of cascading fountains. A
series of bas-reliefs depicting historical Navy events defines the
principal entrance on Pennsylvania Avenue. The plaza regularly serves as a
seating area for concerts given by the U.S. Navy Band who perform on the
cascading steps to the north.
