An imposing outdoor plaza at night, dominated by a monumental train station with towering stone arches and stark, angular columns carved with geometric patterns and hieroglyphic-like motifs. The architecture, massive and authoritarian, looms over the space, illuminated by harsh floodlights and pulsating neon signage. Billboards mounted on colossal stone pylons display propaganda-style messages in bold retro 70s and 80s fonts, celebrating progress and unity, their vibrant lights reflecting on the polished stone ground and shallow water basins arranged with militaristic precision. The plaza buzzes with activity, yet the atmosphere is orderly and subdued. People in minimalist ancient-inspired uniforms--tunic-like robes and sashes in muted, standardized tones--move in choreographed streams, guided by glowing directional signs and loudspeaker announcements. Security personnel in more elaborately styled uniforms patrol the area, their presence a constant reminder of control. Vendors in tightly regulated stalls sell utilitarian goods under angular canopies, their neon-lit kiosks glowing coldly against the stone backdrop. The cascading fountains and water channels are precise and symmetrical, their tranquil sound contrasting sharply with the ever-present hum of trains and the mechanical drone of loudspeakers. The scene exudes a sense of regimented beauty, where ancient traditions and retro-futuristic aesthetics are subsumed into a totalitarian vision of control and order.
