The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is aware of the recent Memorandum for the Administrator of General Services (GSA) regarding The White House’s request to review the GSA’s Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture. AIA is extremely concerned about any revisions that remove control from local communities; mandate official federal design preferences, or otherwise hinder design freedom; and add bureaucratic hurdles for federal buildings. AIA supports the GSA’s Guiding Principles, and we support freedom in design. AIA’s members believe the design of federal buildings must first be responsive to the people and communities who will use those buildings. Read AIA's full statement here: https://lnkd.in/gXYmkj6m
