Design Concept— The design strives to be as ambitious and bold in gesture as The Peace Corps is in concept.  Open to interpretation; they both show beauty at their core and represent American values at their finest.  

Architectural and sculptural, blurring the edges of where one ends and the other begins, each element on the site relies on the others to create a composition of strength, intrigue, and cohesion.
   
Building and sustaining relationships are crucial to facilitate the progression of humanity and the artwork parallels these relationships by creating a poetic composition between the structure, the landscape, and the occupant.  

The artwork creates an urban node in the heart of Washington DC which engages the pedestrian and provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on its elegance, grace, and simplicity.  The occupant experiences changing perspectives between the site, structure, and light, which effect the individual’s perception of scale as they interact with the site.
