This week, the Trust for the National Mall opened the exhibition featuring the twelve final design concepts of the National Mall Design Competition in Washington, D.C. [...]
The submissions, created by ten of the country’s design heavy hitters, re-envision three prominent National Mall locations: Union Square, Sylvan Theater on the Washington Monument Grounds, and Constitution Gardens.

See also the discussion on Gregory Walker's post regarding the finalist designs earlier today.
Lots of "pretty" renderings with happy people and birds. But good ideas??? It's really hard to tell from these images.
Cool competition, though. The mall definitely could use some new designs. Maybe some based a little more in history / reality / symbolism of what the Capitol means.
Just my $0.02

Same stupid criticism. Your not looking at the projects.
@w8d8s did you mean "Maybe some based a little more in history / reality / symbolism of what the Capitol means." compared to what is there now or to what is being proposed?
