Upgraded plans and renderings of the Trump administration’s proposition for a brand-new triumphal arch have actually been sent to the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) ahead of its conference on April 16.
The proposed arch would be developed throughout the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. in Arlington, Virginia. Harrison Design, a regional workplace, is the designer.
Per design drawings sent to CFA, the triumphal arch will rise 250 feet, a symbolic number to celebrate the country’s upcoming Semiquincentennial.
