Holy Frijoles!!! FrankenBuilding!!

Looks kinda Teutonic to me -- if you were to read what Hitler was planing to build in London, and in the US if his reach could get that far, they were like this -- massive utlititarian structures demonstrating function over form.

I agree with a lot of posters on this thread -- they both stink to high heaven! And what in the world was ANY non-US firm doing even in the process????

Ummmm ... no. Hitler kicked the "function before form" architects out of Germany as a bunch of degenerate modernists. That was the Bauhaus group.

The Nazi buildings which surivive show a severe but classical line, like our government buildings from the 1930's. You can see a number of them in Munich still.
