Fairly close to:

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

From Communist Goals (1963)

So why not go the extra mile and screw up entire buildings, right, Xiden?

PING!

I've heard that "brutalism" is making a comeback.

It is written: “Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt drew inspiration from the great Republican of the Civil War, championing the classical and moving ahead with Washington construction...” Not so fast. Under his tenure there was the institution of the “Egyptian Revival” a movement noted for its ugly buildings and only surpassed by the cracker boxes begun under Lyndon Johnson. (An example, the hideous FBI building begun in 1967.)

Lets make Russia Great Again!!! Lets copy the great Soviet Architecture, and at the same time bow down to Putin and give him all of our nukes.

We will be looking towards 1970’s East Berlin for inspiration.

Democrat scum hate Greek democracy and all western culture. All symbols of it must be eradicated.

Well, if you’re going to have Socialism, the Socialist Realism goes with it.

I remember how weird it was when I had to visit the new, local courthouse in the mid-1990s - it looked like a condominium at the beach, not a building that would inspire any reverence or respect for Law at all...

President Thomas Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party

That party did not exist then.

How soon before they start calling Classical Architecture “degenerate art”?

What Joe really dislikes are Trump-appointed board members standing in the way of his patronage plans.

This is an announcement from Genetic Control:
“It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on
Humanoid height”

I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the
Properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold
It’s said now that people will be shorter in height
They can fit twice as many in the same building site
They say it’s alright
Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow
In the interest of humanity, they’ve been told they must go
Told they must go-go-go-go

Genesis, Get ‘em out by Friday

Greenville is Dupont-level upscale.

The dining room and kitchen marble work are quite nice.

If all your town’s buildings are being painted gray and white with little bit of red and maybe tiny bit of medium blue, it is the new Mao look.

I really dislike neo-classicalist buildings, but the statists only have one design, and it’s ugly-depressing-stark-utilitarian.

See https://www.emporis.com/buildings/323694/john-a-hannah-building-lansing-mi-usa for a prime example, but thousands of these monuments to self-loathing exist even here in the US, not to mention the primary examples in PRC or from the Soviet Bloc.
