In 1972, Louis Kahn designed a memorial to FDR on New York’s Roosevelt Island. It never got built, and now the city is considering another plan for the site. But “devotees of Roosevelt and of Kahn are hoping that it is not too late to reconsider Kahn’s 2.8-acre memorial as part of the 14-acre site. With renewed interest in the art of memorial-making (because of plans for ground zero) and in the work of Kahn (because of a film made last year by his son, Nathaniel), the time is finally ripe, they say, to realize Kahn’s plan.”
