Ba`thist Aesthetics

مبنى وزارة الخارجية والغتربين السورية The aesthetics of the Ba`th should be studied. I was looking at the building of the Syrian foreign ministry.  Look at it.  It is great as a (cruel) prison or a headquarter for torture and interrogation.  It is so uninviting.  I am told that it was designed by a Russian architect, and that it was modeled after the Russian foreign ministry.  The Russian foreign ministry is much better in design with the exception of the entrance.
