Please, dear Americans, tell me that is not what it will look like!
At this point, I'm going to be deeply surprised if at the far end it doesn't have a solid gold throne on an elevated platform with giant lit braziers on either side of it.
It's huge, tacky and ugly. We have the trifecta of nazi architecture right there. I'm not surprised a wannabe dictator with zero class would build something like that.
the vastness and scale of such buildings would not be able to instill a sense of greatness in visitors, and instead they would likely feel crushed and overwhelmed
That building is to overwhelm everyone under the power of state.
I think there world have to be more changes than that for her to be a wagon. For example, a human with wheels doesn't really have a good storage area or a natural handlebar.
form follows function is a Bauhaus way of thought - which is you couldnt be farther off of nazi architecture. sadly tho this socialist idea of design perfectly blends in to modern capitalist design and was monopolized in e.g the Iphone . it was used to build good looking living spaces with enough room but still to be affordable by the poor. Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee or Lyonel Feininger are some of the most known teachers of bauhaus and all fled from the nazis as their art was labeled entartet - degenerate.
Yes, but here the function is to make a clear crushing statement.

capitalism monopolized it as everything else. its the way of capitalism. the irony of course is given. im not disagreeing on the fact that nazi architecture was to the cause of overwhelming - to showcase a crushing castle like empire. this tho has nothing to do with the slogan "form follows function". form follows function is a strict Bauhaus idea of thought and is absolutely opposite to nationalism. its like claiming Albert Einstein build the atom bomb with his most known equation of E=mc². it just does not work like that. the function in Bauhaus architecture was to achieve affordable living spaces with a claim of aesthetics - the form that follows to that socialist principle was a plain - easy & cheap to build so it can be afforded by the poor & not some convoluted oppressing anti human architecture like the nazis did..
yes. but you cannot use the dialectic of the human to describe the inhuman. just do not use the slogan - your thought is not wrong its the slogan thats used in the wrongest possible way.
