First Lady Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) ““As stewards of the places shaped by those before us, we are tasked with making” — TopicDigg

“Great design transcends aesthetic appeal; it shapes our lived experiences. It fosters collaboration, conveys dignity, inspires ambition, and creates a sense of belonging to something larger. This philosophy guided my work on the White House Tennis Pavilion, designed in collaboration with the Trust for the National Mall, the Executive Residence, and the National Park Service, and approved by the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the National Capital Planning Commission in 2018. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to ensure the new structure harmonized with the historic neoclassical character of the White House Grounds.” First Lady Melania Trump September 9, 2026
