well the question of style demands is on the low end as much as on any major structure.

if it demands the classical style over low grade cheap garbage then ok.

if it prevents expression and modernism, then no.

seems like its ok to make a pitch for something modern, but if a conservative/fascist leaning gov is in power like trump's, it would probably get denied.

so i am thinking of the new/modern federal courthouse building binge of 10 years back that is still ongoing, i wonder where that falls?

it seems be somewhere in the middle with modernized, yet classic echoing designs:


cleveland carl stokes fed courthouse tower




brooklyn fed court
