Architectural diversity

• The Trump administration want to pass a text requiring the use of a classical style for new federal buildings or renovations.

• This act could be a danger for architecture diversity.

• If the classical style is sometimes seen as a symbol of pride or oppression, depending on the people, modernism is a symbol of liberty, thanks to its various origins.

• For instance, the SNMAAHC in Washington, is in a modern museum, contrasting with the classical buildings around.

• Its style has many influences as south or west Africa.

• Obviously, there are protestations.

• By this text, Trump try to play supporters of the classical architecture (often the elite) and those of the architectural diversity.

• The defenders of the proposition see in the classicism, an architecture as the witness of the greatness of the country.

• However, a single architectural element cannot be a guaranty of success of the administration hosted by the building.

• Moreover, , it is maybe not the most important decision to take about architecture in the USA.

• Indeed, there are many problems about housing and infrastructure.

• And that is more likely a indicator of the stability of a country.

• The other, including some defenders of the classical style, are against the political proposition and prefer to defend an architectural diversity.

• We can also see in this text, a memory of extremist regimes, as it has have existed before.

• For example, the Washington building was called beautiful by the Trump administration and “the greatest monstrosity” by Truman.

• The context of a project has a lot of sense and we can like a building or not whatever its architectural style.
