(58,785 posts)A congressional committee, the same one as always, does, consulting the studies and recommendations of historians and landscape architectural experts gathered for that purpose, over a few years foreseeing the planned renovation. THEY chose and recommended.
And the Rose Garden, as a whole, even after a number of inevitable and necessary renovations over the centuries, still unmistakably protects and reveres the design of the original.
Plans for all renovations are on the web for review.

(7,227 posts)After four years of a White House bereft of art, music, culture, and intellectual life - this is what the Trumps bequeath to the people's house? It's hideous. Looks like a representation of something found floating in a toilet.

But then it isn't like I'm any sort of fan of modern sculpture. I've yet to see one that does much for me.

(9,713 posts)I'm hopeful that by the end of summer most of Trump's executives orders will be incinerated.
He doesn't have to be vindictive about it, just do 180's across the board.
Since Trump's main principle in office seems to have been undo whatever Obama put into place.
