President Trump's Architectural Plans Aim to Reshape Washington's Landscape
President Trump is focusing on significant architectural projects in Washington, D.C., as part of his second term. These projects include a proposed 250-foot-tall arch along the Potomac River, renovations to the Kennedy Center, and the installation of a Christopher Columbus statue on the White House grounds. The arch, intended to be the largest of its kind, has drawn criticism for potentially altering the city's sightlines. The Kennedy Center is set to close for two years for reconstruction, with Trump emphasizing the use of existing materials rather than a complete rebuild. Additionally, Trump is considering a 'National Garden of American Heroes' near the Jefferson Memorial, featuring 250 statues of notable Americans. These initiatives reflect Trump's desire to leave a lasting legacy through physical changes to the capital.
