likely the same as his fixation on toilets and shower heads. he didn't like how something looked once so he's proclaiming it is illegal...

Fascists fetishize neoclassical art and architecture as examples of the glory of western civilization instead of what they consider degenerate forms

Something for Biden to waste time undoing on Day 1

How many styles is this cutting off and are government buildings that diverse in the first place? I guess having a set standards is fine, but this feels extraordinarily pointless unless there's issues with frivolous proposals for building contracts in dumb styles.

Function above everything else.
If a column is there to hold the building up, adding a goofy scrolly thing to the top serves no purpose.

The NGA building is actually unique and really beautiful.

The only purpose of a building is to keep you and your stuff dry, while proving a space to live and/or work.
"Pretty" serves no useful purpose.

Straight-walled cuboid gets the job done, without superfluous expense.

COVID at it's peak, massive hacks ensuing, and this is what's going on in his brain right now. This is his biggest concern and issue he wanted to address. This is what's important to him the most in this moment.

Poor sad Trump, all the stuff he's executive ordered will be undone by Biden and the two big thing Obama did, DACA and Obamacare are still the law of the land.

There is value to beauty. That's why we preserve beautiful historic buildings that have survived for hundreds of years and no one cares when a concrete and glass monstrosity crumbles in it's planned 50 year lifespan.

Yeah, San Jose is interesting to look at. Has the whole Cyberdyne Headquarters aesthetic going on.

But then you look at something like San Francisco which if you've ever seen in person is simply awe-inspiring. It poos all over that tin hut.

Very true, but it was built in 1910s so its always gonna have the history over SJs, and SJ takes up a lot less space and I bet it also is more energy efficient.

If I were Biden I'd just hire someone to review any EO's from January 20, 2016 and tell me which are useless citing this EO as an example and then just issue one EO to cancel all of the useless ones.

He's already got a team of people writing EOs for him right now to undo Trump's active shit. They're just waiting for inauguration at this point.
