Article Abstract:

An account of the rebuilding of the Kennedy Centre theatre in Washington D.C. is given. It is argued that, the structure won't remain the same as the 1971 appearance, instead, two new buildings are scheduled to flank the main structure, and the entire area is to be made more accessible by staircases down to the Potomac River, in order to bridge a sunken expressway lansdside, and a fountain-filled park.
