Arkitectos

Arkitectos is a fictional architectural design firm featured in the video game "Control." The company is presented as a powerful and influential entity within the game's universe, responsible for designing many of the iconic and often surreal structures encountered by the player. The game lore suggests Arkitectos has a long history, shaping the urban landscape of the fictional city of New York and beyond with their distinctive architectural style.

The firm's designs in "Control" are characterized by a blend of brutalist aesthetics, geometric complexity, and an almost organic integration of technology. Buildings attributed to Arkitectos often feature imposing concrete facades, sharp angles, and unexpected openings or voids. The architecture plays a significant role in establishing the game's atmosphere, contributing to its sense of mystery and the uncanny. The Federal Bureau of Control, the game's primary setting, is housed within a building designed by Arkitectos, known as the Oldest House. This structure is not only a physical space but also a dynamic entity, capable of shifting and reconfiguring itself, a testament to the firm's supposed mastery of unconventional design principles. The Arkitectos logo, a stylized geometric symbol, appears throughout the game, reinforcing their pervasive influence on the world.
