Thanks!

Well in my mind steampunk is a diverting path of the history we got form somewhere in the middle ore late 19th century, so it could perfectly also have similarities with early 20th century styles, well just my two cents on the topic.

And actually I only sometimes call my Worldbuilding stuff Steampunk because thats what people would narrow it down to, I prefer Industrial Fantasy myself as a term, as I don't intend to base it upon our real world, what the term steampunk would implicate in my mind, but since I draw a lot of visual inspiration from the 19th century, why not use the term steampunk if it reaches a wider audience that is more likely to resonate with the designs, compared to just calling it fantasy while on exposition.

And you are right, Art Déco and Sovjet Brutalism (or Brutalism in general) were my main inspiratins for these. I'm planning of doing a partial fleshed out (well probably not full) architectural history for one of my factions in said worldbuilding (just somehow lost track the last weeks because of sudden inspration in other directions).

Ah, yes, now I understand your point of view!
I'd be happy to see more from you in this style ^_^
I'm an architect myself and sometimes I add my architecture fantasies to my drawings)

oh it was heavily inspired by a mix of Neo-Classicism, Brutalism and Art Dèco, you can find those in reality, and I plan on doing some of them as photorealistic renderings in a few months or so, when the tileset is set up and finished.
