To be fair, you would have to compare that apartment building to average Roman citizen housing.

On August 28, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring applicable Federal public buildings in the National Capital Region, including Federal courthouses and agency headquarters, to adopt classical and traditional architecture for projects costing more than $50 million.

The order defines classical architecture to include Neoclassical, Georgian, Beaux‑Arts, and Art Deco styles, treats traditional architecture as these plus regional historic styles, and contrasts them with Brutalist and Deconstructivist architecture for clarity.

The White House has appointed officials to the National Capital Planning Commission and is examining redevelopment of the James V. Forrestal and Jamie L. Whitten Buildings; the Administrator must notify the President 30 days before approving divergent designs with justification.

Excellent move by Trump! It will leave a lasting good impression on America.

I think most people are actually tired of cheap modernist shit architecture.

Interesting post on the lack of beauty in the modern world.

The place is creepy. Knowing the location and whatever that tower is, it will feel like a dungeon. I like modern and minimalistic architecture, but someone took some acid with a side of cocaine designing this. Puke.

This might be worse than Epstein's temple on Little St. James. Not some hippy, but it has a negative aura or feel.

During the "Dark Ages" to boot.

And it took them literally centuries. 600 years for the Cologne cathedral, 500 for Milan, 200 for Nothre-Dame de Paris, etc.

Yep. Just think of all the people who were able to work and make a living doing such a beautiful thing. I guess it’s better to be built by way fewer people in a fraction of the time and probably for the same price so 1 or 2 people can have all the profit instead of hundreds and hundreds of people over hundreds of years?

I believe things are going to get very interesting over the next 20, 50 and 100 years.

What do you think the world will look like?
