Title: Futuristic Sculptural Architecture
Post by: Senator on December 12, 2007, 08:00:48 AM
What the title says (As usual nothing to do with Trek)

Seen in a (lucid) dream. Since I don't know 3dsMax it needed a bit of pulling and bending, but it gets the "feeling" right. You should consider the white bits, white concrete, except the balls which were more plastic-ish (and had windows but it's, as usual, unfinished) The green bits grass.

The big strange building was something between a non-religious tample/community center/agora. It had amphitheaters n's stuff.
The rigging/hanging balls stuff are studioish treehousish apartments.
The "parking lot" building were robotic/hydroponic farms stuck one on top of the other. In the model a floor is about 2000m^2 and in each floor the plants were stuck in six levels, so technically that's the equivalent of a 48000m^2 farm.
The rails are actually, well, rails (maglev) the top down photo is centered at the train station.

too.... noisy.

I mean, the design looks nice, but it has too many parts.
you said it's unfinished, ok, but consider making the main building as smooth as possible, and if you need to add branches, like as what can be a garage or another wing, grow it from a main arch or column.
the towers is what you should cut down the most. too much material in one place.
or maybe it's enough, but badly placed. they overlap each other.

Well the towers use a +o shape to support the sphere, with ropes at the edges of the cross. It's actually very simple, but upon rotating / copy pasting it it becomes complex.

The Garage is underground :P

Looks like a 22nd-century Sydney opera.
