“Order, disorder, believe in order, build consent…”
Architecture, throughout history was always a mean to build  political, economical or religious consent.
Fascism, as other political regimes, has always used architecture to express and consolidate its political power. Through the construction of buildings for institutions, stadiums or housing the architecture has been a way to legitimize and reassure continuity through history.
