Stripped Classicism (or "Starved Classicism" or "Grecian Moderne") is primarily a 20th-century
classicist architectural style stripped of all ornamentation, frequently employed by governments while designing official buildings. It was adapted by both totalitarian and democratic regimes. The style embraces a "simplified but recognizable" classicism in its overall massing and scale while eliminating traditional decorative detailing. The
orders of architecture are only hinted at or are indirectly implicated in the form and structure.
