[kj] Coronado swastika and ss

Where do you start with this gem?  Let's just say don't take up architecture - buildings they don't start with the 3D model and work backwards - that's the end bit.  In simple terms outline and shape first so it fits on the land!.  Looking at it I would say it was built in the 80's.

The buildings practicalities would be more important that what it looked like from the air. Whether the offices all had windows would have been more important than the Ariel view. Also when was it built? Probably in the 1940's when the Americans were fighting the Nazis . It was built for practical reason, rather than to give a message . Strangeways prison is an odd design because it was practical.
Saying that the naval building was supposed to signify Nazism is like saying that the H-Block prisons in Ireland were supposed to signify heroin .
If people accuse the American government of being Nazis, then they can have little knowledge of what Nazism was about. One of the cornerstones of the Nazi regime was to rid the world of Jews, yet the American government is a staunch supporter and defender of the Jewish nation.
The building looks like a swastika, so what? There is no hidden meaning. Just that the people who work daily in the office all have a window overlooking grass.

sorry Pete but no chance - I am by trade a Town Planner and have worked in 
Development Control and for one thing you have to submit plans detailing 
amongst over things a layout (from above) showing parking, access, roads 
etc. Someone somewhere must have seen this as it would show up like a sore 
thumb!! There is no way this would not be picked up in any Planning Office 
in US or UK I don't buy it.
