Control is a Brutalist Hellscape

Описание: You'd think a government office building made almost entirely out of concrete would be a boring setting for a game, but Control turns that on its head with the Oldest House. Crafted in a brutalist architectural style, the secret government headquarters known as the Oldest House offers some of the most striking and unique visual design in the industry. Lets explore how it was made and why it works so well.

As always, I also have this video as a written article over on my Medium, you can find it here!   / the-architectural-battleground-of-control
