Washington DC Monumental Core Shown to Be
Analogous to the Milan Cathedral

The Tree in the DC Map

This image (left) taken from the Washington DC planning map (1793) shares all the same elements as above. The image on the right shows the A-shaped Tree of Life, formed by lines connecting monumental locations in the DC layout. NOTE BENE: The Washington Monument was not completed until late in the 19th Century, while the other elements, like the Jeffeerson Memorial weren't built until the 20th Century. The land where the Memorial stands, didn't even exist in 1793, it had to be landscaped.

     

Here, below, is an image of the cathedral plan with the numbers of the spheres of the tree on it.

Q.E.D.

"Q.E.D." is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "quod erat demonstrandum" ("that which was to be demonstrated"), a notation which is often placed at the end of a mathematical proof to indicate its completion. In this case, what was to be demonstrated was the analogy between the forms of the Plan for the Milan Cathedral and the Washington, D.C. map.

Given that we know that the elements in the D.C. map that we see today, were built quite late (much later than the 1830 date set by Hale in "The Old Way of Seeing"), and that there were no indications of them in the planning map, we can pressume that the "geometric construction" of the city landscape is still an ongoing process, and that the "old art" has NOT died out, but is rather alive and well in the Capital.
