In a significant move to reshape the aesthetic of federal buildings, Trump has signed an executive order mandating that classical architecture become the default style for new constructions. This directive aims to promote a vision of beauty in federal architecture, explicitly discouraging the use of brutalist designs. The order emphasizes traditional and classical architectural design, reshaping the priorities of the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Office of Buildings Operations (OBO) to align with this newfound aesthetic. Critics have described this initiative as a push toward a sanitized architectural conformity that prioritizes nostalgic styles over modern designs.
