Summary

Description
English: Detail of a new plaza lighting fixture at L'Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C., in the United States. The original lighting fixtures were designed by I. M. Pei, and garnered extensive praise by architectural critics at the time of the Plaza's completion in the late 1960s. When the Plaza itself underwent a significant renovation in the 1990s, the new fixtures (designer unknown) were place on the plaza. They are a torchiere design. L'Enfant Plaza and L'Enfant Promenade were designed by I. M. Pei for developer William Zeckendorf in the early 1960s. Pei also designed the North Building and South Building, two office buildings which border the plaza. These were constructed in the late 1960s. Vlastimil Koubek designed the West Building (now the United States Postal Service headquarters), which was constructed in 1969, and the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, which was constructed in 1971.
