West Front Capitol plan sparks clash over space and style
Architect George M. White proposes a 55 million plan to rebuild and extend the West Front adding up to 135 000 square feet of Congress offices by projecting the facade 80 feet. The American Institute of Architects objects citing loss of architectural integrity arguing restoration at half the cost is feasible. Aiming to curb expansion Congress should cap its office space to stop further additions near the Capitol and avoid pushing the West Front toward the Washington Monument.
