Beautifying Federal Civic Architecture Act of 2025

This bill sets federal policy that classical and traditional architecture are the preferred styles for federal courthouses, agency headquarters, public buildings in the National Capital region, and other federal buildings costing over $50 million. In Washington, D.C., classical architecture would be the default style unless exceptional factors require another. The General Services Administration would have to update its policies, create a Senior Advisor for Architectural Design with classical or traditional experience, and notify the President's domestic policy adviser before approving designs that differ from the preferred styles, such as Brutalist or Deconstructivist designs. The agency would also report to Congress each year on how it is following the policy.
