An investigation into the subject of fear is much better than the film genre of horror. Furthering this project will be through means of analysing personal fears which I will transit into from horror, at a smooth pace. For now I am putting downs the examples discussed on the tutorial day.
A further talk into the subject of fear led to ideas of Fear and Glory.
a.) The swords of Qadisiyah, Baghdad:
The Arc of Triumph also called the Swords of Qadisiyah and Hands of Victory in some Western sources, are a pair of triumphal arches in central Baghdad, Iraq. Each arch consists of a pair of hands holding crossed swords. The two arches mark the two entrances to the great celebrations square and parade-ground constructed to commemorate the Iraqi victory over Iran in the Iran-Iraq war, led by then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The arches were opened to the public on August 8, 1989.

b.) Welthauptstadt Germania:
Welthauptstadt Germania("World Capital Germania") refers to the projected renewal of the German capital Berlin during the Nazi period, part of Adolf Hitler's vision for the future of Germany after the planned victory in World War II. Albert Speer, the "first architect of the Third Reich", produced many of the plans for the rebuilt city in his capacity as overseer of the project, only a small portion of which was realised between the years 1937-1943 when construction took place.
Some projects, such as the creation of a East-West city axis, which included broadening Charlottenburger Chaussee and placing the Berlin victory column in the center, far away from the Reichstag, where it originally stood, were successfully completed. Others, however, such as the creation of the Great Hall, had to be shelved owing to the beginning of war. A great number of the old buildings in many of the planned construction areas were, however, demolished before the war and eventually defeat stopped the plans.
