Trump officials release designs of triumphal arch in Washington, DC

The Trump administration has released updated designs of its proposed triumphal arch project by architecture studio Harrison Design, which were submitted to the Commission of Fine Arts on Friday.

The triumphal arch would be located on an undeveloped traffic circle in Washington, DC, across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial.

It was first proposed by US President Donald Trump in October 2025 as part of initiatives to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Commenters jokingly referred to it as the "Arc De Trump" – a play on the famous Paris arch.

A Wooden Canopy by Kengo Kuma Casts Dappled Light Around a Copenhagen Museum

At Copenhagen Contemporary, Kengo Kuma and his team have honed in on the Japanese concept of komorebi, which reflects the unique interplay of light and shadow that occurs when the sun filters through the trees. The monumental, site-specific installation “Earth / Tree” harnesses this fleeting condition through a suspended canopy of wooden slats.

Curved with a central opening, the diaphonous structure floats above a brick platform and a pile of rubble. These two organic materials bridge Nordic and Japanese cultures, which both value craftsmanship and continuity with the landscape.

Kuma—who was recently awarded the bid to design the new National Gallery in...
