DC 2024


Washington, DC

This conceptual project explores the potential of Washington DC as an Olympic host city. While most Olympics produce seductive architecture intended solely for the glamour of the short term, this proposal envisions a legacy that recognizes the city's need to absorb a projected 250,000 residents in 20 years. The plan imagines an extension of the McMillan plan across the river to Ward 8, treating the Anacostia as a center rather than an edge.

We pursue collaborative, research oriented projects to enrich our understanding of complex and challenging problems.
