I am recently an academically published author on the Texas Centennial, Fair Park and how it is an empire exhibition. A lot of intellectual figures in the 1930s had fascist involvements.
I've always admired the Architecture of the Third Reich. I couldn't help the symmetry, clean lines and grandeur of the structures with the long red banners and black spider graphics. It is so impressive, in your face graphic, majestic and visually unlike anything seen before.
Unfortunately, it was attached to mad men out of control, reaching the lowest depths of modern day cruelty towards innocents based on race, religion, sexual preference, educations, opinions and FREEDOMS. So, evil supported and created that style of architecture for specific reasons to make people feel small, insignificant and the State dominant and grande. It's based on EVIL, and represents those concepts and goals. It can't be a "little bit good or great, coming from such EVIL".
So, in my book.. you can't have your cake and eat it also. Pick good or evil, black or white.. grey doesn't work. Phillip Johnson designed many other buildings in Ft. Worth Amon Carter Museum, he also designed The Cresent Court in Dallas and many other buildings.
They haven't built the largest Gay church in the world and should reconsider the design with this new information. It does matter, what people believe in and their actions along their professional career and social philosophy. and building monumental buildings designed by those that support or supported EVIL is creating something based on principles of EVIL, which should never be overlooked or supported.

Thank you for taking the time to give this input. Also, what do you think they could do to remediate the mini Johnson building they do have?
