Well, I thought it seemed an appropriate topic in light of certain recent events on here... 
So, yeah, power stations, control centres, that sort of thing. Structures that control aspects of the environment, so dams and locks I'll allow.
Tidal Basin Pumping Station, Royal Docks London:
Thames Flood Barrier:
And of course:
Any excuse...lol
It's a structure that certainly controls an aspect of the environment

Fiddlers Ferry power station
That's an awful lot of steam and hot air being produced
Powerstation IM - Belgium

Farnborough Air Traffic Control Centre. Looks quite phallic...
Power without control - Chernobyl
Drax @ Selby N. Yorks.
I was thinking about posting the Thams Barrier pic for the gateways and entrances thread cos it's kind of the river gateway to London...
Ah well.
Power and control:
Shed loads of power to control very tiny things, the Large Hadron Collider.
Transmission mast at Emley Moor.
The original mast, a 1266ft steel structure fell over in 1969 due to high winds and the weight of ice on its guy cables. Bet that made a din!
Agecroft.
Now gone, making the area a greener and cleaner place.
Hoover Dam.

Monolithic but impressive in size. Boeing's plant at Everett, Washington state.
Kariba Dam
Not the biggest or most impressive but responsible for Lake Kariba a pretty special place I miss.
St. Denis II Powerstation - Paris
And I'll see your phallic and raise you a yonic
Doesn't qualify, Starbelly, cos it's not a power or control centre. Sorry, but I don't make the rules oh actually I do.
Crossness Pumping Station:
Abbey Mills Pumping Station:
Tat Modern (formerly Southwark Power Station):
Power you say? Well, since most of my youth was spent watching this being built, I'd best introduce people to Sizewell B.
This okay Elf'?
No it's not, Derek, it's not. You cooduv posted something nice like this Sayano-Shushenskoe Hydroelectric power station, but instead you've gone and bin silly which isn't nice and it spoils it for everyone else who is behaving themselves I think you should go and stand in the corner and stay there until you can learn how to be nice.
Power and Control, The Kremlin;
Here's an American missile silo.
Too much power and control...
Again, inappropriate.
I prefer Naval Architechture for sheer Power and Control.
