I chose this image because sadly, and against my will and ideology, I am in love with fascist architecture, and this is a wonderful example of it. The unashamed brutal force, the oversized dimensions, the determined lines, the somber elegance and overpowering grandeur, the intimidating proportions, the clean sharp modernist shapes and the clear grid, the drama, the monumental scale, all those are stronger then me, and I surrender to their visual impact and forbidden beauty. Strangely enough, this glass roof reminds me of Talpiot market in Haifa, my birth town. I used to go there with my mother when I was a young boy, and the gigantic international-style building frightened my and exited me at the same time. I felt small and lost inside that enormous building, yet fascinated and enchanted. I guess that admiration to the big and imposing went along with me throughout my life and is here to stay. Sorry. Florence,2013
