Columbus Circle - Washington DC
The goal of this project was to design a new neighborhood between Downtown and Capitol Hill centered on Union Station and Columbus Circle. Originally envisioned by the McMillan Plan of 1901, the build-out of the existing parking lots surrounding Columbus Circle would create a dignified civic entry for visitors and commuters exiting Union Station.
