New Federal Building Design Rules: Preference for Classical Architecture.
This law establishes new aesthetic standards for major federal buildings, such as courthouses and agency headquarters, requiring them to be beautiful, inspiring, and respectful of architectural heritage. Traditional and classical architecture becomes the preferred style, and citizens gain the right to provide input on designs before they are approved.
Key points
New federal buildings (costing over $50 million) must primarily be designed using classical or traditional architectural styles.
Citizens gain the right to provide input on proposed architectural designs in their communities, and their views must be given substantial consideration.
A special advisory council is created to monitor whether government agencies adhere to the new aesthetic and architectural standards.
