I've always had an interest in architecture, and the more I read in regards to fascism I am positive it is the best and ultimate choice for any nation to thrive. Well needless to say, I've become intereted in the ideas of technocracy and I stumbled upon the concept of futurism.

I've always admired these types of architecture, a fine example of a futurist building I'd regard is the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. There are many examples of futurist architecture in Philadelphia and Chicago in the United States, as well as in Dubai, although I'm not a huge fan of Dubai's architecture, I feel it is over done and in some cases, tacky.

Here are some more examples of futurist buildings:

I've mainly got an interest in futurist architecture, although I'm starting to develop a taste for futurist art work too. How about you guys; if so, which are your favourite pieces of work?
