Republic Style
Drab Bunker Style
The Drab Bunker architectural style was conceived in the early 1990's in the midst of the government's war against the Army of Common Men. Partly inspired by Kilikas Brutalism with which it shares many commonalities, this style was less a statement against elite societal mores and more a practical response to terrorist bomb attacks by a leftist militia. Government buildings began to be heavily reinforced with large slabs of concrete and barriers, eschewing all ornamentation or concessions to aesthetics in favor of defensibility and survivability. Weak points such as windows were minimized, making the interiors dark, cold and oppressive. The bunker in Drab Bunker was also literal as these buildings have large underground areas, usually reserved for high level employee offices, vaults and archives with sensitive documents. After the defeat of the insurgent groups the government slowly phased out construction in this style, although authorities in locales with significant non-Daxian populations still use it.
