National Palace, Dominican Republic
Guido D'Alessandro · Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic · 1947
Guido D’Alessandro organized the palace around a large central dome and formal wings. The symmetrical frontage and interior ceremonial spaces give the executive headquarters a clear civic presence, while its landscaped setting separates it from the surrounding street network. Visiting: The seat of government; see it from outside on Calle Doctor Delgado. Interior visits are occasionally arranged by appointment.
