focus of the nighttime visitor onto the
commemorative works.

sidewalk and street lighting, tying the site
into the urban street grid and allowing for

a transition from the high brightness light
levels of the city to the softer glow of the

of lower brightness that carries visitors into
the site while shielding the commemorative
works from the adjacent urban glare
14th Street NW

similarly to the contemplation terrace as a
step down in brightness from the perimeter 2
to pull visitors into the Grove, Belvedere, and
Lower Plaza

which the commemorative works emerge
from the subtle park lighting to pull the focus
of the visitor to the memorial elements while
providing a contemplative atmosphere, fully
sheltered from the surrounding city lights

Lighting Considerations Lighting Considerations
• Quiet glow of Western terrace softens the edge of the sculpture allowing the sculpture • Bright multi-globe points of light around the sculpture cause distraction and are out of
to fade into its context context
• Viewing experience is comfortable without glare from beyond the sculpture • Multi-globe fixtures have no shielding, causing glare for park users and site
• Proposed pole is more quiet and in keeping with the somber character of a memorial adjacencies
• Proposed pole directs light into the site as opposed to the sky and site adjacencies • Playful character is more fitting to the ice rink than the memorial
• Existing fixtures are in disrepair and would require significant upgrades to repair - This
includes the necessity of altering the historic look and feel of the fixture by replacing
the original visible incandescent light with a dedicated LED alternate to comply with
contemporary energy standards.

Directives + Responses October 2018 CFA
• Strong preference for the option in which
the bronze sculpture rests on a stone
shelf projecting above a recessed linear
waterfall paired with the monolithic stone
wall on the west side
• Further developed the preferred option
• Recommended developing the light
quality and ethereal character by making
the stone shelf as thin as possible and
further recessing the waterfall
• Coordinated with structural and fountain
team to develop the narrowest internal
profile possible to support the bronze
sculpture and desired cascade effects
• Preference for the darker granite to
match the Pershing Walls
• Pursued the use of the Carnelian granite
to match the existing Pershing Walls

The proposed compression of the sculpture
to achieve the reduced length as presented
May 2018 May 2018
in May 2018 (based upon studies of the scale Approved Height Approved Length
maquette) was determined to cause visual
distortions when enlarged to full scale for
testing at the foundry.
As such, two options have emerged for the
sculpture fountain:
A: Continue with the desired 6’-6” FIGURE
HEIGHT (as determined by May 2018 CFA)
which results in a longer sculpture fountain
totaling 59’-4” when including the stone
bookends (58’-4” of just bronze)
B: Continue with the previously approved
sculpture fountain LENGTH of 57’-6” (56’-6”
just bronze) and scale the figure height down
to a 6’-2” figure height to fit the approved
length
Please Note:
The scale figures (shown at 5’-6 1/2”)
represent the median height of the average Granite Plinth Granite Plinth
U.S. male (5’-9”) and female (5’-4”)
Cascade Cascade
The sculpture and scale figures are shown on
this page in true elevation. The perception
of the height differences is increased when
viewed in perspective, see full scale prints
available during CFA presentation on Viewing surface

Directives + Responses October 2018 CFA
• Strong preference for the option in which
the bronze sculpture rests on a stone
shelf projecting above a recessed linear
waterfall paired with the monolithic stone
wall on the west side
• Further developed the preferred option
• Recommended developing the light
quality and ethereal character by making
the stone shelf as thin as possible and
further recessing the waterfall
• Coordinated with structural and fountain
team to develop the narrowest internal
profile possible to support the bronze
sculpture and desired cascade effects
• Preference for the darker granite to
match the Pershing Walls
• Pursued the use of the Carnelian granite
to match the existing Pershing Walls
