The Trump administration plans to mandate beauty standards on federal buildings commissioned for over $50 million by the General Services Administration, a move intended to curb the influence of modern design and to promote the architecture style that birthed the nation’s most iconic government buildings, including the Supreme Court and the White House.
According to The New York Times, the plan has been initiated by the National Civic Art Society, a non-profit organization that seeks to advance the Greco-Roman style that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson chose in order to purposefully connect the nation’s capital “to the ideals of republican Rome and democratic Athens.”
