President Trump, a former builder, signed an executive order Monday intended to promote neo-classical architecture as the official style for federal buildings in Washington, DC., and at new federal courthouses elsewhere.

 

The order defines "classical" as including Neoclassical, Georgian, Greek Revival, Gothic and other traditional styles. It also establishes a new President's Council on Improving Federal Civic Architecture, which is intended to ensure proposed federal buildings are "beautiful and reflective of the dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability of the American system of self-government."

 

The order cites ancient Greece, ancient Rome and language from the constitution of the Italian city of Siena in 1309 as preferred models.
