# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=critical-regionalism+tropical-modernism
# Critical Regionalism carries the structure. Tropical Modernism appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Critical Regionalism (Style, 1980s–) and its accent from Tropical Modernism (Style, 1940s–1970s). Structural cues: Adoption of local materials and building methods; Section and openings that answer the climate; Siting that follows the terrain; Regional character as a condition rather than as ornament. Accent cues, used sparingly: Brise-soleil; Deep eaves; Cross-ventilation; Permeable screens. Composition: Decide the section from sunlight and wind direction and let the plan follow from it.. Type and lettering: Respect the local sign system and do not overwrite it with an imported typeface.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Concrete louvers, perforated terracotta blocks, timber shutters that breathe.. Mood: Trust, Calm, Technology, Futurism. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e2dfcc, #779173, #48514a. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Modern Architecture, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Critical Regionalism: Applying folk craft motifs is the opposite attitude. Regional character enters as a condition, not as an appearance.
# - Tropical Modernism: Louvers and canopies added as shapes, with no calculation of orientation and sun angles, stop neither sun nor rain. Look past a tropical look to colonial rule, nation building after independence and local architects.
