Context (People Magazine Report): An executive demand has been issued for the Smithsonian Institution to erect a massive 30-foot George Washington statue, replacing a historic sculpture that has anchored the museum hall for nearly six decades (58 years). This simulator audits whether the neoclassical architectural envelope can physically accommodate the proposed scale.
