The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has criticized President Trump's new executive order that mandates traditional architectural styles, particularly Neoclassicism, for federal buildings. The AIA argues that this order stifles innovation and removes local communities' control over architectural decisions. The directive requires government department heads to develop recommendations in line with the traditional design mandate within 60 days. The AIA is concerned that such mandates impose bureaucratic hurdles and diminish design freedom, underscoring the need for architecture to reflect local communities rather than imposing federal design preferences.
The American Institute of Architects has voiced strong opposition to Trump's executive order mandating classical architectural styles for federal buildings, arguing it undermines local design innovation.
AIA's statement emphasized the importance of design freedom and community control, expressing concerns that such federal mandates could lead to bureaucratic impediments for local architecture.
