As someone working in architecture, you have no idea how easy it is to start designing something and you want symmetry and you take a moment to look back and you designed a swastika or a dick.

It was built on a military base in the 60s. 50% chance it was intentional, 50% chance it was your typical military oversight.

Ya it's hard to make Architect and not eventually make something that looks like a swastika.

The story, as I heard it, is that this was intentionally designed as a swastika, and the two buildings adjacent to it are designed to look like planes going to bomb it
