New Federal Building Design Rules: Classical Style and Public Input
This act introduces new rules for the appearance of federal buildings, promoting traditional and classical architecture. The goal is to make these buildings more inspiring and respected. Citizens will have more say in architectural design choices, which could change the look of cities and their surroundings.
Key points
The preferred architectural style for new federal buildings is classical and traditional, aiming to beautify public spaces.
In Washington, D.C., classical architecture will be the default choice for federal buildings, unless exceptional factors necessitate another style.
Citizens and future building users will have the opportunity to provide input on architectural designs before selection.
If a design diverging from the preferred style is chosen, a detailed justification and cost comparison with classical alternatives will be required.
