Great post! When I've traveled to D.C. and look at the Hoover building, I'm reminded of Fascist and Stalinist architecture. All of the socialist building was brutal, cold, dehumanizing. In addition to the brutal philosophy the Frankfurt School brought over, they brought their architecture, too.

Hooray for President Trump and his followers for bringing us back to beauty and grace in our society!
This might be about more than just bringing back beauty and grace; it might be about embracing beauty as a gift from God, and rejecting the evil and soul-crushingness of Brutalism. As a society, we have embraced the ugly; look at beach photos from the 1980s and beach photos today. We need to once again recognize what is beautiful and embrace it. Architecture is one way.

Well put and my sentiments exactly!
It's all part of the battle of good vs. evil. I'm hoping that the inclusion and recognition of beauty will nudge us closer to good.
