Over nearly 250 years\, the National Mall has evolved into the symbolic heart of the nation&rsquo\;s capital. Envisi oned by the founding generation as a grand stage for democracy\, it was de signed to express the ideals of a new republic through landscape\, archite cture\, and monumentality. Over time\, pastureland\, mudflats\, and milita ry training grounds were transformed&mdash\;through conflict\, compromise\ , and reinvention&mdash\;into one of the world&rsquo\;s most recognizable civic landscapes. \; \;

Carolyn Muraskin\, a \;former architectural designer\, left her drafting desk to establish DC Design Tou rs in 2015. She graduated from the University of Maryland Architecture Pro gram.
