Emily's Story...
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
THE MEMORIAL | The Memorial’s main design concept will be based on the Gold Service Star which represents the Fallen Warrior. The Memorial will be partially recessed to create a physical and emotional change in the visitor’s orientation. The Memorial will focus inward, always keeping the visitor connected with the large flag, state flags | and Fallen Warrior plaques bearing the picture and story of each Fallen Warrior.The surrounding sounds are quieter, and with sound of water at the seating areas the state flags waving in the air will be amplified to provide a more serene atmosphere. |
DESIGN CONCEPT | The large-flag archway will serve as both a landmark and starting point of entry into the Memorial. The structure will be 130-feet tall and adorned with the seals of the five military branches. The Memorial’s center will contain all 55 flags representing the states and territories of the United States. These will stand in the middle | of a pentagon, which is the shape of the Department of Defense. Seating areas will be created in between the Memorial walls to function both as a fountain and seats. The fountains will be low in profile to let the visitor experience both the touch and sound of flowing water over stones. |
ARCHITECTURE | The large circular path will go around the Memorial and link to all other access points created by the Donor Wall. This wall will carry the names of all the individuals, businesses, corporations, organizations, and schools that contributed to the building of the Memorial and Museum. Two buildings will flank the archway | and house the Information Center, Auditorium, and Exhibit hall. The other will be for Administration, Outreach, and a Library Center. The Memorial will be solar and wind-powered and meet LEED specifications for providing an eco-friendly environment. |
