After More Research!

After doing some digging around on the internet looking at different architectural styles, I think I can say that the style of my buildings and designs, most closely resemble that of  the "Brutalist" style, which is described in "http://www.saylor.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Brutalist-architecture.pdf" as

"Brutalist buildings usually are formed with striking repetitive angular
geometries"
"A building may achieve its Brutalist quality through a rough, blocky appearance, and
the expression of its structural materials, forms, and (in some cases)
services on its exterior."

 taking info from another Blog: http://rhanvintage.blogspot.com/2010/11/brutalist-architecture-and-its.html
"So what do Brutalist buildings look like?  They share repetitive angular lines, and are typically made with concrete, though you will also recognize this style through the use of rough, blocky shapes and exposed materials and forms"


Looking at some examples around i think this quite closely fits my style, and is likely something i may try and enhance in my work, to push that style a bit more.

Edit: http://www.saylor.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Brutalist-architecture.pdf
is almost word-for-word the same as wikipedia, and the pictures seem to be linked from wikipedia, strange...
