President Joe Biden has revoked former President Trump’s executive order that required federal buildings be constructed in the style of American classical architectural codes.
In a series of revocations, Biden canceled Trump’s order that sought to return federal architecture to its origins of classical, Neoclassical, Art Deco, Georgian, Greek Revival, and Beaux-Arts styles that were preferred by many of the Founding Fathers and the public.
With the cancellation of the order, federal buildings will continue to be built in modernist and brutalist architectural styles without taking into consideration the local public’s opinions on the aesthetics of the buildings.

Phil Lowe: A craftsman and gentleman
Two woodworkers, Will Neptune and Steve Brown, remember their mentor.
Synopsis: Woodworking lost one of its giants in January 2021 with the passing of Philip C. Lowe, teacher and master of period furniture making, founder of the Furniture Institute of Massachusetts, sailor, scholar, writer, and friend. Here the woodworking community remembers one of our own.
Woodworkers like Philip C. Lowe don’t come along often. In fact, humans like him are a rare commodity, combining extraordinary talent with more than average levels of kindness and generosity, and on top of that the passion and temperament to teach for decades. While he can’t be summed up with a few titles, Phil was a father, husband, tradesman, sailor, teacher, scholar, writer, mentor, and, above all, a friend. His life was full. His loss is profound.

Windsor a private residential community and club on South Florida’s Treasure Coast is one of tranquility. It’s the impression that founders W. Galen and Hilary M. Weston wanted to cultivate when they set out to find a site for an elegant, yet simple winter retreat for their Toronto-based family more than three decades ago.
