Axonometric Map of Washington, D.C.

This axonometric map of President's Park was created by Joseph Passonneau and Partners in 1996, during the William J. Clinton administration. The map shows the many 20th century additions to the park and the surrounding area, including the Department of Commerce building to the right of the Ellipse and the west end of the Federal Triangle complex just beyond the Commerce building. To the north of the White House, large office buildings loom over the historic Jackson Place row houses. A prominent Washington, D.C. architect, Passonneau worked on many of the city's urban planning and transportation projects.
