Rachel Hsu, one of my Yale students, alerted our studio to this amazing aerial photograph of the Inauguration.  We are going to use the photograph as one of the plans (along with urban classics like the Projecte d’Eixample de Barcelona , Savannah, and the 1748 Nolli Map of Rome) to test the scale of the studio site: the CSX rail yards in Allston.
