I've always favored Le Corbusier's neo-modernist design for the Palace of the Soviets. The interior was extremely modernist, and looked like something out of THX-1138. Le Corbusier argued that the modernist sentiments of the Soviet revolution were being betrayed by the classicist designs that were approved by Stalin; instead, he interpreted the revolutionary intent in neo-modernist architectural terms, rather than resolving to eclectism/neo-classical designs for the Soviet's "building of buildings".

Many thanks to those who offered up such great images and imaginings on this project.

I'm surprised that neither of the Kims from NK engaged in a 'hubris' project like this, although the supertall hotel in Pyongyang could be considered in a similar light to the proposed Palace of the Soviets.
