Totalitarian architecture refers to architecture created by totalitarian regimes. Igor Golomstock wrote a book covering Soviet architecture, fascist architecture (in Italy), Nazi architecture, architecture of the People's Republic of China, and Ba'athist Iraq architecture and writing of certain points of commonality between them, often a preference for grandiosely large yet boring buildings.[1] Dennis Doordan wrote that "megalomania is a feature of totalitarian architecture in general" and believed it to be imposing and large in size to portray a sense of power, majesty and virility.[2]
