17 Sep First public images released for planned Fallen Journalists Memorial on the National Mall
The first public images of the planned design for the Fallen Journalists Memorial on D.C.’s National Mall were released Tuesday.
The privately funded memorial, which has been authorized by Congress, was designed by the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation and the Chicago-based firm John Ronan Architects. The open-ended, triangular space will be the first D.C. memorial to be made almost exclusively from glass, the foundation said in a release Tuesday.
The use and spacing of the glass are meant to highlight themes of transparency.
