I've never had an art or architecture class, so I'd appreciate it.

Nevermind; it's art deco. Duh.

I just needed the right name. Bioshock would also be a good example of it.

God, that's a game I haven't heard of in a while. My ex played it once but never did much with it.

I never played it but I was always tempted to because of the architecture in the game was said to be absolutely beautiful. I should try to buy it online.
