On May 16, 2025, European broadcaster ARTE interviewed me for a Reportage segment on “Washington vs. MAGA.” The discussion centered on the architecture of the nation’s capital and the civic ideals it expresses. I drew a sharp contrast between the city’s classical landmarks, such as the National Gallery of Art (a “modern” building completed in 1941), and the harsh, unpopular Brutalism of structures such as the Hirshhorn Museum and FBI Headquarters.
