Episode 029 - Make Federal Buildings Beautiful Again
from 76 Small Rooms · host 76 Small Rooms
Welcome to Episode 029! It's been a while since our last episode, and we're delighted to be back. This week we discuss the recent proposed executive order titled "Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again", drawing on Kate Wagner's excellent article in The New Republic - https://newrepublic.com/article/156509/donald-trump-war-on-architecture. What are the implications of a style edict, and why the particular style of Classicism? We discuss our collective unease at the announcement, and ask whether we'd be happier if it was a 'style' we personally preferred. It's a deep dive into the topic with our hosts. We've also updated our theme music, with a brand new track by The Cosmic Wheels! https://open.spotify.com/artist/35K4pkBpn9f2qWu2awA2M6
