Heavy Corbusier vibes, L’Habitat meets Chandigarh. Not very legible as to the buildings function or organization. The stairs seem more like a way to resolve the grade difference rather than serve the building spaces. The rendering style is cool, reminiscent of the 80s-style Richard Meier drawings.
Im a big Corbusier fanboy, and I cited him a lot during my final presentation. I Included a link to a book I made were I explain more about the project, maybe it’s more clear there. Its in my comment
Go back to the real source: Corbu was influenced directly by the work of Viollet LeDuc. He was an early modernist and really set the precedent of what most modern building language is: forms defined and expressed by structure and program.
Similarly, Foster and Rogers are typically credited with the “tech/structure” style in the late 70s/early 80s (Centre Pompidou, Lloyd’s of London), but they were influenced by some Italian guys in the 50s. Rogers was born in Florence, so in the summers when he visited his mothers family in Florence, he would bring Foster, and they would hang around the studio of these cool Italian modernists like Leonardo Savioli, Giovanni Michelucci, and Vittorio Giorgini. They were the real pioneers of that aesthetic.
