Michael, very good story, and an excellent label!
I suspect those that heard your answer understood it all too
well, and indeed realized that you nailed it.
I also suspect that architectural historians might not like
it when someone other than themselves accurately portrays
what's (historically) going on.
Neocon Architecture indeed!
ps
I'm surprised that Leon Krier wasn't also mentioned as a
precursor of neocon architecture. Moreover, there might be a
'legitimate' comparison between nazi architecture and neocon
architecture.
