Regarding the actual EO itself, without a deep-dive, is a direct critique of the GSA directives and of the buildings they enabled. Specifically, that the new buildings built under those guidelines have been: * often unpopular with Americans * ranged from the undistinguished to... unappealing * clashed with the existing local architecture, specifically classical architecture in Washington D.C. * often selected... with little regard for local input or regional aesthetic preferences * sometimes impresses the architectural elite, but not the American people who the buildings are meant to serve * not even visibly identifiable as civic buildings These are the buildings highlighted by the EO as examples: * Hubert H. Humphrey Department of Health and Human Services Building : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Hubert+H.+Humphrey+Department+of+Health+and+Human+Services+Building&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Hubert+H.+Humphrey+Department+of+H...> * Robert C.

Young Federal Courthouse : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=George+C.+Young+Federal+Courthouse&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=George+C.+Young+Federal+Courthouse...> There were some exceptions, according to the EO, examples being: * Tuscaloosa Federal Building : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Tuscaloosa+Federal+Building&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Tuscaloosa+Federal+Building&iax=im...> * Corpus Christi Federal Courthouse : <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Corpus+Christi+Federal+Courthouse&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Corpus+Christi+Federal+Courthouse&...> Interesting.
