An original image that takes its structure from International Style (Style, 1920s–1960s) and its accent from Tropical Modernism (Style, 1940s–1970s). Structural cues: Rectangular volumes; Glass planes; No ornament; The free plan. Accent cues, used sparingly: Brise-soleil; Deep eaves; Cross-ventilation; Permeable screens. 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: Concrete louvers, perforated terracotta blocks, timber shutters that breathe.. Mood: Trust, Calm, Futurism. Color: build on #eeece5, #9ca3a5, #252729 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
# - 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.
# - 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.
