Trump's order, or I think it's an executive order to restore classical architecture, you know. | |
I think that speaks to a certain instinct he has for people's hunger for the I mean these these are forms that have endured and survived for a reason and that maintain their beauty because they connect with the eternal. | |
I mean, there's a reason why brutalism goes out of date instantaneously, right? | |
It now looks so shabby and kind of old. | |
And those classical buildings still look as beautiful as ever. | |
You know, they hopefully we won't just copy and repeat what went before us. | |
But uh, you know, if in fact Trump is able to get some of these uh building commissions uh in place, you you might well see a kind of re rebirth of the new classicism. | |
Certainly you're seeing it in in in writing. | |
I think if you go on Substack and you read the most interesting fiction, a lot of it is kind of based on this idea that we we've got to recover form. |
