>To have exclusively white men on the panel -- and have them endorse "the style I like, that celebrates my ancestors, is the only style anybody should use" -- is very self-centered. From my reading, the order was in reaction to modern architecture. Not sure where you are reading id politics into that. Furthermore, who are you to say that Americans of any ethnicity have or do not have a connection to an architectural style? Can I play the race card here and say I'm a fan of the Smithsonian's Romanesque revival style?
