Breitbart:
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday requiring federal buildings be constructed in the style of American classical architectural codes.
Following decades of modernist, brutalist, and deconstructivist designs for federal buildings, Trump has issued an order that will return federal architecture to its original ethos of classical, Neoclassical, Art Deco, Georgian, Greek Revival, and Beaux-Arts that was preferred by many of the Founding Fathers.
“[Notable Founding Fathers] wanted America’s public buildings to inspire the American people and encourage civic virtue,” the order states. “President George Washington and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson consciously modeled the most important buildings in Washington, D.C., on the classical architecture of ancient Athens and Rome. They sought to use classical architecture to visually connect our contemporary Republic with the antecedents of democracy in classical antiquity, reminding citizens not only of their rights but also their responsibilities in maintaining and perpetuating its institutions.”
“Under the direction and following the vision of these two founders, Pierre Charles L’Enfant designed the Nation’s capital as a classical city,” the order continues. “The promise of his design for the city was fulfilled by the 1902 McMillan Plan, which created the National Mall and the Monumental Core as we know them.” read more
ANOTHER EO that the Harris/O’bidenBama administration will revoke.
President Trump, next you should order the demolition of singularly ugly fed buildings. I insist you start with the J. Edgar Hoover Building, arguably the ugliest building EVER, populated by some of the ugliest people EVER, and named after one of the ugliest, nastiest bureaucrats/enforcers EVER.
Why aren’t we rioting? We went out and voted and massive election fraud up and down the ballot…
Pathetic.
All government buildings should be the sheet metal type. If it’s good enough for the majority if small businesses, it should be good enough for government workers.
Move on to the Frances Perkins Dept of Labor building.
Make it a work day and provide no warning prior to explosives being detonated. We might get 15% of those motherfuckers.
Then abolish FDR’s agency altogether.
Those “modernist, brutalist, and deconstructivist designs for federal buildings” are perfect for the mindless bureaucratic automatons that work therein.
BHO hardest hit.
Great way to start over. Plow down all the ugly buildings and send everyone home.
“We’ll get in touch with you”
Thank you, President Trump!
Please include in that EO that the building materials therein be formulated from urban democrats.
@flip — Whaaat?! That would make those places more toxic than ChiCom drywall!
Here’s an alternate use for them: landscaping fertilizer
Bring back quonset huts.
