Question 1

While most visitors to Washington, D.C., visit the well-known memorials, including the Washington Monument, the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, and the more recent Vietnam Memorial Wall, a beautiful and lesser-known memorial is an environmental park that occupies 7.5 acres, it is the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. In 1974, Lawrence Halprin was commissioned to design the memorial, he is a respected environmental designer who has worked on restoration projects and designs in San Francisco, Seattle, and even Jerusalem. The FDR Memorial has four outdoor galleries, or rooms, that represent his four terms of office, with trees, waterfalls, sculptures, and pools defining the spaces. The first room represents FDR’s first term in the midst of the Great Depression, the second room represents his leadership of hope through his fireside chats, the third room represents the difficulties and uncertainties of war, the fourth room represents a brief moment of peace before his death in office. Although Roosevelt himself disliked being seen in his wheelchair, one of the sculptures represents him in his chair. He was a chain smoker who was often seen with his cigarette holder in hand, none of the sculptures include his cigarette. However, he would have probably appreciated the sculpture with his beloved dog, Fala.
