SITELOCATION
LOCATION MAP
Developed by the McMillan Commission of 1901, “Fort Drive” would have connected the Anacostia Waterfront Park with Rock Creek Park through the arc of old Civil War fortifications.
However, after securing the lands, no funding was ever procured to build the parkway, leaving neighborhoods cut in half, scarred by land emptied of houses, with cut roads leading nowhere. The land was eventually transferred to the National Park System.
The site for the Memorial Park occupies a small parcel of the Fort Drive Park System, at the junction of Fort Totten, Lamond Riggs, and Manor Park neighborhoods.

THE RAGGED EDGE
A swath of expropriation and a swath of track have left a ragged edge in the urban fabric which the church building and the community gardeners have attempted to repair.
The gardeners have given physical order to an abandoned no man’s land, and the church has given spiritual order to a community on the edge.
These are the principal facts from which we began our design as an exercise in repairing and tying together these loose threads, the broken threads of the lives of the victims, and the broken threads of the urban fabric.

CIRCULATION
The 30’ wide entry was deliberately sited opposite St. Paul’s Baptist Church to both reinforce the sense of arrival as well as formalize the social character of the dead-end street as a public square.
The families, the neighbors and visitors find the memorial entry overseen by the church and can walk under the shade of protecting trees.
The gardeners can find rest from their labors on benches under the shade of the trees while keeping an eye on the health of the trees and the plantings.

LINES OF SIGHT
As a matter of public safety, the park has been designed to allow clear sight-lines to reinforce the social connectedness necessary for a sense of security and well-being.
The families, neighbors and visitors find the memorial entry overseen by the church by its position on the hill overlooking the site.
The adjacent gardeners can see into the park from their vegtable patches

LIGHTING SCHEME
Our proposed lighting scheme is kept to a minimum, mainly to emphasize commemorative elements. These includes three types of lighting fixtures in the interior of the park.
Two new streetlights are also added in addition to the existing streetlight on the corner to New Hampshire Ave and South Dakota Ave to provide sufficient background security lighting.
New light fixture types are:
Type A Lighting4 individual 1” wide linear LED fixtures to be integrated at the base of each granite sculpture.
4 fixtures x 9 sculptures = 36 fixtures
Type B LightingLinear flexible LED fixtures hidden at the base of the central inscribed portion of the Memorial Wall.
+/- 68 linear foot
Type C LightingIn-ground up-lighting at the entry of the park to highlight park signage.

MEMORIAL SCULPTURES
The more intimate audience, those families affected by the accident, shall be addressed by nine individual sculptures sited on landscaped mounds surrounded by native trees that grow characteristically large. The names of the victims shall be inscribed with a small font on each sculpture. The inscription will identify those being honored without making the sculptures too reminiscent of grave stones.
A 7-line text submitted by family representatives shall be inscribed on the curved memorial wall that shelters the park.

SCULPTURE DETAILS
To honor the victims of the accident, nine singular abstract forms by sculptor Barbara Josephs Liotta, one for each victim, would rise in groupings from landscaped mounds. Liotta is a sculptor working in standing and suspended shattered stone. Although completely abstract, every piece she makes is a portrait. Barbara has generally worked in series, some based on Greek mythological characters, some on people she knows. But each piece is a single individual, the essence of a person.
The pieces are each made of three blocks of granite. The largest one is on the bottom, the smallest in the middle, and the intermediate piece on top. These monolithic pieces each refer to the human form, standing up stoically, like iconic caryatids.
The blocks of stone, locally quarried, grey-black granite known as “Jet Mist”, are approximately 14 inches wide and 14 inches deep. The pieces are secured with a steel bar running through the center of all three blocks of stone, and embedded within a concrete footing to secure their long-term stability.
