Donald Trump has released a draft executive order (what on earth that even is) mandating that the default style in architecture for federal buildings in the US should be Neo-Classicism. "Liberal" meltdown ensued, accusing said architecture of "fascism", and saying that in a democracy, decisions about style are better left to "professionals" (who like to build absurd dadaistic buildings instead). Personally, I´m more into yuge and amazing Art Deco skyscrapers (I mean, why the f*ck not?), but I suppose Greek Revival style is a tolerable substitute...
Now, please read my review of "The Architecture of the Absurd".
The charmless absurdity of modern architecture
