# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=international-style+italian-rationalism
# International Style carries the structure. Italian Rationalism 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 International Style (Style, 1920s–1960s) and its accent from Italian Rationalism (Style, 1926–1943). Structural cues: Rectangular volumes; Glass planes; No ornament; The free plan. Accent cues, used sparingly: White volumes and a regular rhythm of bays; Deep overhangs and bands of shadow; Marble set against glass; Classical proportion, translated. Composition: Carry floors on columns so plan and facade both stay free.. Type and lettering: Align sans serif signs to the column grid, flush with the wall.. Let one material quality come from the second style: White render against polished marble and plate glass, with reveals deep enough to cast a real shadow line.. Mood: Trust, Calm, Futurism, Luxury, Technology. Color: build on #eeece5, #9ca3a5, #252729 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. 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
# - 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.
# - Italian Rationalism: Keeping the white box and dropping the proportion: without the underlying ratios it is generic modernism, and the whole argument of these buildings was that the ratios were still present.
