Machine & Monumental

From "A Tour of The Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey" by Robert Smithson

Machine (topic based):

a device or a group of people or insutituitions, or a network of equipemnt under a central control. It usually powered, designed to perform a particular task.

Monumental (descriptive):

Like a monument, especially huge and impressive. Very great; extreme

Is architecture required to provide monumentality and highly advanced machinery?
