Feb.25 (UPI) — President Joe Biden has signed an executive order rescinding an action by former President Donald Trump seeking to limit federal buildings to classical or traditional architecture. The move came in a late-Wednesday order that sought to undo multiple Trump-era executive orders. Trump signed the «Promoting Beautiful Federal Civil Architecture» executive order Dec.21. While not outright banning any particular style of architecture, it established classical as the preferred style — which is influenced by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The order said federal buildings should be «beautiful,» and established the Council for Improving Federal Civil Architecture to recommend updates to guidelines from the General Services Administration.
