A political system captured through a single photograph showing its architecture and people. The Nazi Party commissioned architect Albert Speer to build a rallying stage at the Zeppelin Field which hosted 340,000 people providing another platform for Hitler to promote his ideologies.

It’s fascinating that Hitler himself spoke of wanting to be an architect. Perhaps he found power in the idea of shaping our cities?
How did colonial Japan symbolise control through architecture?
