Eisenhower family on memorial: Go back to the drawing board

[earthside]

6. It is pretty bad.

Here is a link to what looks to be the present Gehry design:

It is too busy, too personality oriented, too military (we do already have the WWII monument), too open and yet too crowded within a confined area.

Yup, I don't blame the family for telling the commission to start again.

I would, however, disagree with Susan Eisenhower about the "overwhelming' approval for a memorial. I 'Like Ike', but just how crowded is the mall going to get with memorials to people who live just in the past 100 years?

What space is going to be left for the 'heroes' or great events of the future?

It seems to me like a better place for the memorial to Ike is where his presidential library is now ... where he grew up in Kansas.
