Hitler wanted a Triumphbogen, a triumphal arch, twice the size of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Triumphbogen
That’s just inadvertently hilarious. Especially because the entire article is an obvious reference to Trump’s own aspirations to the same gaudy spray-gilded trailer-palace chic.
I find this comparison highly offensive. For all the monster Hitler was, he was objectively a vastly better architect than Trump (and also had some basic understanding and knowledge of that matter) and while his preferred style was, to the surprise of no one, thoroughly fascist, it had proper proportions. Not that I am a fan of fascists or their architecture but just look at the images in this thread. The one building has sound composition and proportions make sense and the other is a wacky McManson on steroids, on the inside and the outside.
REMEMBER MEEEEEE
Though I have to say goodbye…
Anyone else read oedipus instead of ediface?
That’s the joke
Sounds oddly familiar… 🤔
Looks like a certain planned ballroom…
While the act of POTUS remodeling the White House and Kennedy Center definitely tracks, the neoclassical architecture is classic Washington DC.
Doesn’t look like anything to me.
Looks like fascism
I always felt that Brutalism looked fascist.
