The Trust for the National Mall has announced the finalists in a design competition that aims to restore and improve three prominent sites on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Snøhetta, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Michael Maltzan Architecture, and Ten Arquitectos are among the bevy of notable firms whose proposals have advanced to the next stage of the multi-tiered competition.
The three sites span the length of the Mall: at the east end, Union Square, located at the foot of the U.S. Capitol building and featuring a 1920 statue memorializing President Ulysses S. Grant; near the center, the Washington Monument grounds, notably the area to the south containing the Sylvan Theater (1917); and at the west end, Constitution Gardens, a 50-acre park built in 1976 between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. Six teams, each comprising two firms, will compete for each of the three projects.
