New Renderings Released of Frank Gehry and AECOM?s Revised Eisenhower Memorial, reports the Architectural Record.

Last fall, supporters and critics of Frank Gehry’s design for the Dwight D. Eisenhower memorial in Washington reached a compromise, allowing the project to proceed (with completion by June 6, 2019?the 75th anniversary of D-Da?a possibility). Now Gehry and AECOM have completed a revised design, reflecting the compromise, which will be presented to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts on January 23.
The memorial?s key element, a 440-foot-long woven-metal tapestry, remains. But the subject of the tapestry has shifted. It had been a scene of Ike’s hometown of Abilene, Kanas; it is now an aerial view of Normandy, where Allied troops under Ike’s direction landed on D-Day. The other changes include relocating a statue of young Ike away from the center of the memorial and closer to the large Department of Education building behind it.
