Liberty Memorial Design Proposal #05
-
Description
-
Architectural rendering of the site layout for a Liberty Memorial design proposal from the New York-based Harold Van Buren Magonigle. This proposal was awarded first-place by the 1921 memorial jury, according to Derek Donovan's Lest the Ages Forget: Kansas City's Liberty Memorial. "His plans for the memorial drew heavily on the then-popular Egyptian Revival style, as well as the geometric patterns of what would soon be known as Art Deco. Both majestic in scale yet serenely pensive, Magonigle's designs drew fulsome praise from the jury, which described it as 'an architectural masterpiece, a design of commanding dignity, power and beauty."
