Overview

Chyameya Hu̽chyû Hudû was built using the conventions of Rattu durring the early 18th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Chyameya Hu̽chyû Hudû is no diffrent. The city's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Chyameya Hu̽chyû Hudû is buildings are arranged arround a network of restrictive gravel streets which form a diagonal shaped grid, where each square verries in size given the proximity of the paralell streets forming each section. The ocasional smaller square has been used to construct a park, plaza, and other communal structures. The city posesses a fortified albit thin wall of querried stone. This wall posesses most of the features of a castle wall, though it is constructed from cheeper inferior stone. It would pose a minor chalange for an attacking army, though it's clear the wall's true purpose is to crush the hopes of bandits and marauders. Chyameya Hu̽chyû Hudû's failry decent fortifications are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

Chyameya Hu̽chyû Hudû seems to be abandoned at first. There are people present, working their trades and going about their business like any community, it’s just they are absurdly quiet.

The entire city feels like a library, with those not reading remaining quite to not disturb those who have their nose in a book. The longer you remain in Chyameya Hu̽chyû Hudû the more you start to wonder if you’ve entered some strange open-concept University rather than a city, but you can’t quite say such with certainty.

The style used is admittedly strange and non-linear style rooted in defiance of symmetrical shapes. It championed the creation of buildings with a unique visual appearance. the structural norms of classic buildings and deforms or moves away from elementary architectural principles. By including non-linear designs processed into its buildings and favoring fragmentation, this style expressed a form of controlled chaos. Its buildings appear out-of-the-ordinary, draw the eye in immediately and sometimes create a feeling of strangeness. These distorted shapes and structure are not reserved to the building’s outer facade, they destabilize interior elements too, favoring minimalism and play on people’s perceptions by injecting a futuristic touch.
