AIA Condemns Demolition of the White House East Wing
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) expresses deep concern over the full demolition of the White House East Wing, contradicting earlier public assurances.
The demolition of the East Wing without full public engagement or clarity undermines the very process that the design and preservation professions developed to protect our civic architecture.
The project was initially stated to be "near it, but not touching it and it will pay total respect to the existing building," but the actual demolition has raised questions about the integrity of the architecture, transparency, process, and public stewardship.
The AIA calls for transparency in public architecture, emphasizing the importance of public engagement and clarity in such projects.
