Justin Shubow @JustinShubow - .@SenatorBanks and I co-authored an op-ed at Fox News regarding his legislation that would beautify federal architecture by codifying President Trump's recent Executive Order:
Architecture speaks volumes about how any culture sees the world and the values that guide it. When Americans think of the buildings that best reflect our values, we think of landmarks like the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. . . .
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson put an emphasis on classical architecture when they helped design America’s capital. Jefferson hailed the U.S. Capitol building as "the first temple dedicated to the sovereignty of the people, embellishing with Athenian taste the course of a nation looking far beyond the range of Athenian destinies." Washington praised the "grandeur, simplicity, and beauty" of the Capitol’s neoclassical design.
The Founders started a classical tradition that lasted nearly 150 years. . . .
But starting in the 1960s, our national government stopped prioritizing beautiful buildings. Today, fewer than 10% of new government buildings are in the classical or traditional mold. Ugly structures have emerged, including brutalist concrete hulks here in Washington like the FBI headquarters and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Three different HUD secretaries – one Republican and two Democrats – have compared their building to 10 floors of basement.
More recently, we’ve gotten new courthouses that resemble bizarre art projects, and in some cases blatantly undermine our country’s values. The architect of the Nancy Pelosi San Francisco Federal Building has openly said his work takes an "aggressive attitude" toward the public.
To overturn this trend, I (Sen. Banks) will soon introduce the Beautifying Federal Civic Architecture Act. It codifies President Donald Trump’s executive order "Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again." My bill, like that order, demands that new federal buildings "uplift and beautify public spaces, inspire the human spirit, ennoble the United States, and command respect from the general public."
My legislation doesn’t mandate any specific style for buildings across the country – it only requires a preference for classical and traditional architecture designs, which include everything from neoclassical to art deco to Romanesque to Pueblo revival.
My bill also requires federal agencies to gather substantial input from local communities when designs are being selected for federal buildings. At present, there is absolutely zero requirement for federal agencies to consider what kind of buildings the people they serve want. My legislation reverses that, ensuring the public has a say in the design of their government buildings. . . .
