When World War II broke out, Hitler was building a massive congress hall to accommodate his top 50,000 Nazis for annual gatherings. The unfinished and empty husk of this building still stands empty, as Germans can't find an appropriate use for it. The brutal, no-questions-asked, Neoclassical design -- like the architecture of any dictator -- effectively drives individualism down and makes you feel insignificant...unless you join what they promised would be the winning team.
