In 1997, at the height of World War III, the President’s plane was hijacked when he was in route for peace talks. He escaped in a pod, but crash landed in Manhattan, which had been turned into a giant prison since 1988. Criminal and former Special Forces agent Snake Plissken was sent in to rescue the President.

Worldbuilding: Architecture in Writing #1

Let’s make use of my degree, shall we? I would like to be useful for the writing community, so I’m going to give some info/tips that might be useful for the Setting. I’ll start with architectural styles/movements. This will be brief, you can see if anything fits what you have and mind and google it for more info!

Parametric Architecture

For all the sci-fi geeks out there, this is for you. Parametric architecture basically depends on programming and using equations and calculations to create super weird forms.

Buildings with such curves and angles couldn’t have been possible without calculations and special software.

If you are looking for a futuristic setting, you should probably give this one some research.

-------------------------

Deconstructivism

Another weird quirky style.

This one gives the impression that the building is falling apart (fragmentation). Very chaotic and experimental.

In many cases it is used with old buildings = high contrast. (This building looks like a spaceship, doesn’t it!)

-------------------------

Brutalism

This style is a MOOD™.

It has such a heavy, rigid vibe. So geometrical and bare. No ornaments. Brutal. Usually the buildings are made of concrete, they almost look like fortresses.

If you are up to a dystopian piece or something, this might suit you!

------------------------- That will be all for today. Will be back with more.

I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

This is my very first fiction, so please excuse any slight hiccups within the story. Constructive criticism is always welcome :) hope you enjoy! -tiny note Sorry for the super late update guys, been dealing with alot of health and work issues recently. So I haven't been able to focus on writing much this year. ________ After a night of hard partying, Kyle wakes up four weeks in the future after overdosing. He's still in the same Motel room, but he's alone... nothing but trash, broken bottles and overturned furniture remain. Walking outside he takes in view of his surroundings. everything is empty, not a soul in sight. then a sharp, stale and metallic smell hits his nose the same time his eyes focus on the state of the second floor balcony... bullet holes... crumbling stairwells... and blood?.. Bloody handprints and splatters are riddled all over the place, but the largest amount of it is a long bloody drag trail, leading from the front of the room doorway he's standing in...
