# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=garden-city+international-style
# Garden City carries the structure. International Style 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 Garden City (Layout, 1898–) and its accent from International Style (Style, 1920s–1960s). Structural cues: Concentric diagrams; Separation by green belt; Planned population; Work near home. Accent cues, used sparingly: Rectangular volumes; Glass planes; No ornament; The free plan. Composition: Public buildings at the center, industry outside, housing and farmland between. Type and lettering: Draw the scheme as concentric rings, zone names and populations equal in size. Let one material quality come from the second style: Steel and concrete frame, white rendered planes, large sheets of glass.. Mood: Calm, Trust, Futurism. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #eeece5, #9ca3a5, #252729. 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
# - Garden City: Borrowing only the concentric picture while dropping the green belt and the population ceiling leaves a leafy subdivision with no self-sufficiency left.
# - International Style: A white box alone misses the structure, free plan, industrial materials and social program, and ornament stripped without tuned proportion and detail reads as cheapness, leaving openings with no reason for their position.
