The Act to Promote Traditional Architectural Standards is an act of the Senate of Ausonia which was enacted to outlaw the construction of modernist architecture in most urban areas. Proposed by Lord President Jean-Jacques Barrande de Saint-Pierre and enacted into law by the Senate into 1930, the act also mandated that all modernist buildings be replaced with traditionalist styles at the earliest possible opportunity and required each bailiwick to create a local Architectural Board to determine whether all future construction projects meet the standards set forth under the act.
