alain resnais’s night and fog (nuit et brouillard, 1955) opens with shots of abandoned concentration camp grounds. this is what the narrator says several minutes into the film: “a concentration camp is built the way a stadium or hotel is built: with businessmen estimates, competitive bids, and no doubt a bribe or two. no specific style—that’s left to the imagination: alpine style, garage style, japanese style, no style… architects calmly design the gates meant to be passed through only once.“
surely, they had to take con-mat and arch tech... i wonder, tho, if they had their trash cans emptied when they were architecture students...?
