Kilikas Brutalism: Difference between revisions

During the 1930s Le Corbuix led a development movement in the art schools and universities across [[Kiravia]] to develop a new and futurist style of architecture for the 20th century. As the [[Great War]] wore on, the movement gained momentum. There was a general malaise towards the hierarchical and opulent systems they led to laypersons in cities living in densely packed “rats-nests” and dens of “villainy and vice”.  The aspiration of Le Corbuix’s movement was to literally and metaphysically lift up the downtrodden masses from their “towering urban hovels” and build clean, beautifully simple, and efficient living spaces. By the end of the [[Great War]], there was an insatiable appetite across the world for something different. The concept of a massive middle class of returning veterans became an issue the needed addressing. Large swaths of southern [[Crona]] and northern [[Ixnay]] lay in ruin. The cheap, fast, and aspirationally futuristic stylings of Le Corbuix were poised to fill the gap.
