A planned new security screening center for visitors to the White House has been objected to by the Commission of Fine Arts, whose members said they considered the current design too large and insufficiently “beautiful” to match its surroundings in Washington, D.C.
According to The New York Times, the panel had been expected to give its preliminary approval to the 33,000-square-foot project on Thursday, but instead delayed its vote until its requests for substantial changes had been taken into account and a revised proposal had been submitted.
