"Nuremberg was to be the site of many more official Nazi buildings, most of which were never built; for example, the German Stadium would have accommodated 400,000 spectators, while an even larger rally ground would have held half a million Nazis. While planning these structures, Speer invented the concept of "ruin value"—that major buildings should be constructed in such a way that they would leave aesthetically pleasing ruins for thousands of years into the future."
