Gather 'round /pol/, let's all look at what could have been. Plus, Third Reich Germany gives me an architecture boner.

It's actually from 1936.
>>73467310
I get that same boner senpai

>Third Reich architecture
>good
kek. Gave birth to some of the worst abominations seen in the western world.
>>73467532
>not being on board with Welthauptstadt Germania
look at this glorious potential world capital
>>73467919
Oh man flat concrete walls everywhere. How interesting!
>>73467919
Also another fun fact, the dome on that building would have been so big it would have created its own micro climate. Could never existed anywhere outside of Hitler's wet dreams.

speer was a great architect , if he made the plans like this , then it could have been made

I couldn't speak on the micro-climate dome because I'm not an architect, but the model is just a mock up. It wouldn't/shouldn't include every detail on every building such a molding, etc. I just love the look of this sprawling metropolis. It's very Romanesque.

>the building would indeed have had its own "weather", with the breathing and perspiration of 150,000 occupants precipitating in the high dome... the indoors condensate characteristic imagined for the Volkshalle has actually been observed happening within the Kennedy Space Center's immense Vehicle Assembly Building, if its own massive dehumidification systems were not turned on.
>>73468637
so basically it just needs a dehumidifier?
>>73468777
One that wasn't invented for another 25 odd years. Plus it's weight would have sunk on the Berlin soil
>>73468940
The soil thing makes since, but I know humidifiers were around by 1905
>>73469279
sense*
>>73468940
>It is basically an extremely heavy block of concrete used by the architects to test how much weight the ground was able to carry. Instruments monitored how far the block sank into the ground. The Schwerbelastungskörper sank 18 cm in the three years it was to be used for testing, compared to a maximum allowable settlement of 6 cm. Using the evidence gathered by these gargantuan devices, it is unlikely the soil could have supported such structures without further preparation. The plan was to cover the Schwerbelastungskörper by building a bridge over it. The arc would have been near by, but problems with the Axis running through infrastructure, would have made it difficult to establish any convenient location.
seem like speer was already looking on that problem
>tfw barely any natsoc thread anymore
im not a natsoc but i used to love those. why have you stop making them?
>>73469790
Because /pol/ is flooded with leftist redditors who only post threads like: POL BTFO
