The McMillan Plan — Washington, D.C., 1901

This expansive bird's-eye view presents the McMillan Plan of 1901, an ambitious vision for improving the monumental landscape surrounding the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The Capitol commands the center of the composition, surrounded by formal lawns, gardens, tree-lined avenues, terraces and carefully ordered civic spaces.

Architectural precision is softened by muted greens, warm stone tones and an aged cream ground. Streets extend toward the horizon while symmetrical landscaping and monumental axes reveal the grand scale of the proposed civic environment, transforming an urban planning document into a remarkably detailed work of architectural art.
