@Kazimir Malevich I think the Australian Parliament House has also done well in terms of its symbolism

This requires some explanation, Foreground: Australian war memorial
Background: Old Parliament House
Far background: Parliament House

The parliamentary system sucks

We need an Australian Czar

Your right. Caesarism has never gone wrong, not ever.

@CronoSaturn Oof, looks bloody neat, especially the green roofs, big sucker for those. I'll try to see what the interiours look like.

@FreshWholeMilk Monarchy is awesome, except it cannot withstand any technological advancement beyond pidgeon mail.

True true

What's epic about this building is how the feeling changes throughout the visit of the building. Not to mention the extreme attention to detail.

Don't have a good image of the tribunes, but they are very nice as well.

it could look better if it was executed better

i like the wood

Here's a fact: those "thinking pods" would be uncomfortable as hell for an adult to sit in

this is fucking cracker shit

ass tier degenerate design
