I love artistic depictions of impossibly vast, all-encompassing architecture and am requesting you share any you may have (hexbear.net)

Nothing quite like the simultaneous awe and dread of looking at a construction so gargantuan that you feel like an ant on the floor of a cathedral

Pic is by Étienne-Louis Boullée. Also if you're into this kind of stuff, check out the work of Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Also have a look at the short film The Centrifuge Brain Project.
