Trump has just ordered his administration to ensure all federal buildings respect classic architecture of American heritage.

This will effectively work to ensure federal building designs are more scrutinized and have the "look" of American government buildings.

That might seem like a small thing, but:

quote:

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”


That's #22 on 45 stated goals by communists for America.

How about we focus on function and not form?

Yep subliminally meaningful. I like it. Good catch

ETA these are such fine details that make a difference. Today’s architecture is one of those things that creates depression when you look at the buildings of old we used to build in the 19th and early 20th century. So beautiful and they inspired you. Reminds me of Elons speech today about Americans being inspired again

Love this one - tough to have pride in something that looks just plain stupid.

VDH talks a lot about this

My county still has, and uses, it's courthouse that was built in the 1800s. Classic, beautiful architecture that adds to the community.

Most counties have modernist boxes that have zero character and frankly look like dated shite.

Exactly. I hope this renews the pride in our citizens for the USA and it's history.

I guess you enjoy paying more in taxes to so that govt inefficiency can take place in a pretty building. Is no one seeing how stupid this is? We ostensibly have DOGE to downsize govt, so where is this new building design going to take place? We're shutting things down, not building new stuff - at least that's what we were told in the campaign.

Some of you would eat a plate full of babyshit if Trump said it was roast beef, and then claim it was the best food you ever had.

A pretty building doesn't have to be inefficient.

And yes, I will happily pay more for a building that beautifies the community versus a concrete monolith that would look at home in the Soviet Union.

This may surprise you, but I have had this opinion long before Trump came up with it.

I think I've made it pretty clear here that I do not automatically assume whatever position Trump takes. If you paid any attention at all while LARPing your way around here you would know that.

Don’t get angry at us because you don’t understand anything about human psyche. Drab structures reminds me of all the old pictures of the USSR and china. Soul crushing

Who knows what Albert Speer's initial project was in the Third Reich?

Truly great architecture achieves both form and function.

Focusing only on function gets you bullshite like Soviet style apartment blocks.
