Corridor of Light Current Proposal PowerPoint - Arlingtonva
Areas of Emphasis The North Lynn Street Corridor needs public art to keep pace with the changing scale of the urban environment and to establish a memorable public space. As a connection to Key Bridge and Meade Street Bridge, Lynn Street is a commercial, transportation and pedestrian artery in Rosslyn. These two bridges anchor at the north and south ends of the street and mark entries from Arlington to the south and from Washington D.C. to the north.

From the Washington Monument on the National Mall to the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, VA, the region is define by the grand classicisms of 19th and 20th century America. Often built from bronze and stone, the forms that populate the nation’s capital are marked by a material gravitas in accord with the many events they immortalize. Rosslyn is bracketed by these traditions.
When establishing Rosslyn’s urban identity, it is possible to embrace Washington’s monumentality in a way that represents Rosslyn’s expansion as an urban center in the 21st century.
