Reshaping Federal Architecture: A Return to Classical Design
This chapter examines a pivotal executive order aimed at revitalizing classical architecture in U.S. federal buildings, moving away from the modernist styles predominant since World War II. The discussion highlights the significance of architectural beauty in public spaces, critiques contemporary designs, and advocates for a renaissance in traditional forms of art and architecture through entities like the National Endowment for the Arts. Through their reflections, the speakers explore the broader cultural implications of aesthetic preferences and the ideological battles within the architectural community, illustrated by contrasting perspectives from different political administrations.
