This handout image courtesy of Gehry Partners, LLP, 2013 shows the planned Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington. President Barack Obama is appointing a critic of the planned Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial design to serve on the federal commission that oversees the projectâs development, weighing into a lingering debate over the memorialâs future. The White House announced Obamaâs plan to appoint former National Endowment for the Humanities chairman Bruce Cole last month, but it drew little attention while Congress was in recess. Cole has published at least two articles in the past 13 months criticizing architect Frank Gehryâs approach to the memorial design, saying it would be a âmonumental farceâ and that the design is âa cross between an amusement park and a golf course.â (AP Photo/Gehry Partners, LLP, 2013)
