  1. Well there isn't much designed in the real world explicitly for the Internet, because it's a completely separate space. I guess you could say that slowly erasing public spaces is 'designing for the Internet' but it's subtracting not adding, so it's hard to point to the absence of a thing as being a design.

  2. To be fair, the Soviet blocs weren't built because of some megalomaniac, but because of the needs of a population devastated by WWII. The Nazis destroyed most residential buildings along their warpath to Moscow, and the commie blocs were a great way to rapidly increase housing and avoid mass homelessness. Stalin did say that they were meant to be temporary until 'Palaces of the Proletariat' could be built, but.. nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution, after all.
