Leading architectural preservation organisations sue to block Kennedy Center alterations

The scope of the Kennedy Center renovations are unclear, but historic preservationists aren’t willing to take the risk: On Monday 23 March, eight of the nation’s most prominent architecture and preservation organisations, including the American Institute of Architects, the American Society of Landscape Architects, DOCOMOMO US, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and The Cultural Landscape Foundation, filed a lawsuit in federal district court against President Trump and the Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees in an attempt to halt construction.
