Absolutely Brutal



I'm doing some study drawings of the sculptural character of expressive modern architecture. When these architects confined themselves to using concrete and other modern materials and eschewed historical reference and ornamentation, they've created a new aesthetic of shape, form and texture. Eventually I want to combine this sculptural quality but include more ornamentation, or have some mashups with historical styles too. What would a building with similar design shapes and greebles but with Gothic or Classical ornamentation look like? The answer is funny.
