联邦艺术委员会周四对唐纳德·特朗普总统的东翼翻新计划进行了快速审批，使总统打造新宴会厅的目标距离实现又近了一步。
委员会——一个向总统和国会就纪念碑、纪念馆、硬币和联邦建筑设计方案提供咨询的独立联邦机构——以不同寻常的方式全票通过，不仅批准了提交的概念，还批准了最终设计，这是该委员会审批流程的意外加速。
尽管委员会主席指出，该小组收到了超过2000条关于该项目的公众意见，其中超过99%是负面的，但审批还是通过了。
本次会议通过Zoom虚拟举行，未向公众开放现场评论，因此主席总结称，评论者主要关切的是所谓“非法拆除”、“规模不当”以及项目缺乏透明度。
投票结果是在委员会宣誓就任两名新成员后仅一小时：特朗普的执行助理张伯伦·哈里斯（一位26岁、没有丰富艺术经验的人士）和帕梅拉·休斯·帕特纳奥德（特朗普第一任期内住房和城市发展部前副部长）。
新成员的加入意味着这次会议是该小组首次完全由特朗普任命的成员组成。
自去年以来，总统在10月东翼拆除工程启动时彻底改组委员会后，一直致力于在该委员会安插忠诚支持者。
新任命的专员哈里斯对该项目表示支持，称白宫是“世界上最伟大的建筑，我们希望这个宴会厅成为世界上最伟大的宴会厅。”
该项目的建筑师沙龙·巴兰斯展示了新东翼的动态和3D模型，这是公众首次看到并能够审查该项目更完整的模拟方案。
东翼翻新项目还需要国家首都规划委员会的批准，该委员会下次会议定于3月5日举行。该委员会同样由特朗普的忠诚支持者组成。

Trump’s White House ballroom moves one step closer to approval after fast-track vote

Council on Fine Arts
The Commission of Fine Arts fast-tracked approval for President Donald Trump’s East Wing renovation plans Thursday, bringing the president’s quest for a new ballroom one step closer to reality.
In a unusual move, the committee, an independent federal agency that advises the president and Congress on design plans for monuments, memorials, coins and federal buildings, voted unanimously not only to approve the concept as presented but to approve the final design, an unexpected acceleration of the approval process through this committee.
The approval came despite the committee’s chair noting the panel received over 2,000 public comments about the project, with over 99% negative.

The meeting, held virtually on Zoom, was not open to public, in-person comment, so the chairman summarized that much of the concern was about what commenters felt was “illegal demolition,” “inappropriate scale” and lack of transparency around the project.
The vote came just an hour after the committee swore in two new members: Trump’s executive assistant, Chamberlain Harris — a 26-year-old without any extensive arts experience — and Pamela Hughes Patenaude, former deputy secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the first Trump administration.
The addition of the new members meant the meeting was the first held with a panel made up completely of Trump appointees.
Since last year, the president has been installing loyalists on the committee, after gutting the board completely in October as the East Wing demolition got underway.
Newly installed commissioner Harris spoke in support of the project, saying the White House is the “greatest house in world. We want this to be the greatest ballroom in the world.”
The architect of the project, Shalom Baranes, presented animated and 3-D models of the new East Wing, marking the first time the public has seen and been able to review a more complete mock-up of the project.
The East Wing renovation project also requires approval from the National Capital Planning Commission that is set to meet next on March 5. The commission is also comprised of Trump loyalists.
