SUMMARY:Teófilo Victoria Lecture Series – The City Beautiful Movement – Lecture III
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art\, Florida Chapter (ICAA FL) proudly presents\, in collaboration with the Coral Gables Museum\, our inaugural\n \nTEOFILO VICTORIA LECTURE SERIES\nThe City Beautiful Movement – Lecture III\nThe City Beautiful Movement and Washington\, D.C. by Justin Shubow\n \n1 credit towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Elective) | 1 AIA CES Learning Units | HSW\n \nLecture 3 – Thursday\, April 24\, 2025\, 5:30-7:30pm \n\nCocktail Reception\n5:30 – 6:15 pm \nLecture\n6:15-7:15pm\, with Q&A to follow\n\n \n& \n \n  \nThe 1901-1902 McMillan Plan for Washington\, D.C. was the first achievement\, and arguably the apogee\, of the City Beautiful movement. Furthering and reinterpreting the original L’Enfant Plan for the capital\, the McMillan Plan replaced the Victorian landscaping of the National Mall with the east-west axis and Monumental Core as we know them: stately classical buildings and memorials and public grounds. The Plan\, the creation of the Senate Park Commission chaired by Senator James McMillan\, paved the way for and envisioned the Lincoln Memorial\, Union Station\, the Federal Triangle\, and generous public parks. The Plan continues to underpin planning in the District of Columbia to so some degree\, though some have called for a McMillan 2.0 to broaden the vision for the next century. What might a neo-City Beautiful plan look like? \nJustin Shubow is President of the National Civic Art Society\, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington\, D.C. that promotes the classical and humanistic tradition in public art and architecture. He is former Chairman of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts\, an independent federal agency that is the aesthetic review board for Washington\, D.C.\, to which he was appointed by the President. Shubow has testified in Congress on topics such as the future of the National Mall and the design of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial. He is the author of The Gehry Towers over Eisenhower: The National Civic Art Society Report on the Eisenhower Memorial\, a critical examination of the memorial’s competition\, design\, and agency approval. He has published architectural criticism in numerous outlets\, and has delivered talks about architecture around the country and in Europe. Shubow received a B.A. from Columbia University\, a J.D. from Yale Law School\, and completed four years of study in the University of Michigan’s Ph.D. program in philosophy. He is a member of the Board of Advisors of the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation and the Board of Academic Advisors of the Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \nThe lecture will consider how the City Beautiful movement developed Washington\, D.C. from a health-and-wellness perspective. At the turn of the nineteenth century\, the National Mall was bookended by a soot-spewing train station at one end and a malarial swamp at the other. The McMillan Plan for the city sought to improve the public welfare by eliminating the railway station and swamp\, and more broadly through constructing beautiful public buildings and monuments\, along with ample tree-lined greenspace\, pools and fountains\, and recreational facilities. These design features all contribute to improvement of our health\, walkability\, and enjoyment living in the City Beautiful. The talk will consider how these and other kinds of beautification improved—and can still improve—public health\, safety\, and wellness in the District of Columbia. \nAt the end of the course\, participants will be able to:\n\n\nUnderstand the Plan for Washington\, D.C. Prior to the Twentieth Century\nParticipants will learn how the L’Enfant Plan laid down the iconic plan for Washington\, D.C.\, including how that plan was furthered or ignored prior to the 1901-1902 McMillan Plan.\nUnderstand the Principles of the City Beautiful Movement and Its Influence on Washington\, D.C.\nAttendees will gain insight into the urban planning and architectural principles of the City Beautiful Movement\, with a specific focus on its impact on Washington\, D.C.\nUnderstand the Abandonment of the City Beautiful After World War II\nParticipants will come to see how “urban renewal” and other modernist developments in the District of Columbia diverged from the McMillan Plan.\nUnderstand How the McMillan Plan Could Be Expanded for the Next Century\nAttendees will learn how the City Beautiful principles underlying the plan for Washington could be deployed in an expanded plan for the metropolis.\n\n  \nBECOME AN EVENT SPONSOR!\n  \nEvent – Supporting Sponsor $5\,000\nEvent – Contributing Sponsor $2\,500\nEvent – Friend of the Chapter $1\,500\nGo to EVENT SPONSORSHIPS page & choose sponsorship “$ option” to process online payment.\nComplete the Event Sponsorship Form & return to director@flclassicist.org.\nSponsorships are tax-deductible.
