特朗普总统对宏伟建筑的偏爱一直延续到白宫，从计划新建舞厅到呼吁联邦建筑尊重“古典建筑遗产”。他最近的关注点是约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心。
President Trump’s penchant for grand buildings has followed him into the White House, from his plans for a new ballroom to calls for federal buildings to respect “classical architectural heritage.”His recent focus has been on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
然而，与他的许多项目一样，特朗普试图在这座由爱德华·杜雷尔·斯通设计的现代主义建筑上留下自己名字的努力，已导致一系列法院裁决阻止这些行动。特朗普还表示他可能会拆除这座1971年的建筑——这一前景令建筑师和保护主义者感到震惊。
Like many of his projects, however, Trump’s bids to put his name on the Modernist building, designed by Edward Durell Stone, have led to a series of court rulings blocking these efforts. Trump has also said he might demolish the 1971 building—a prospect that has alarmed architects and preservationists.
