AIA Condemns Demolition of the White House East Wing and Calls for Transparency in Public Architecture

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 process developed by design and preservation professions to protect civic architecture.

The project “will be near it, but not touching it and it will pay total respect to the existing building.”

This undertaking calls into question the integrity of the architecture, transparency, process, and public stewardship of our civic built environment.
