Designed for Richmond

[JWCJ]

It would look nice as a tower with like the look of the empire state building.

Lets see if Ive got it right this time.

I hope you're working on the wings for this magnificant tower.

Haha, Ive been switching out some things and moving some things around on the bottom. Im keeping the modern look, and making it pedestrian friendly

That's fine, but don't screw around with the tower design. I think you've got it just right.

[TBurban]

Thanks. Those wings are giving me difficulty. To combine modern, with pedestrian friendly and terraces. Ill have to work on it for a while.

Burt, sorry for the blank I'm drawing, but what are you envisioning when you say wings?

Burt, sorry for the blank I'm drawing, but what are you envisioning when you say wings?

When I say "wings" I mean terraced extensions outward from about the fourth floor of the tower. For instance, if, as Tommy and I think, the tower could go up over the Thalhimer hole in the ground, the footprint, as it looks now, would not cover enough ground to extend to 6th street on the west and 7th street on the east. Think The Va. Beach Westin. It's a tower rising above an elongated base., but Tommy's building is much more handsome than the VB Westin, so the wings have to be "just so".

Thanks, Burt. Still workin! In the meantime, Ive been putsing, and based off Coupe's picture in the Richmond City Profile, I made this.

Ill add Centennial and Vistas soon.

Hey, that's pretty cool! Good job!

I forgot that I can't edit old posts here.

So I'll repost the old first two buildings I had designed... others will be coming...

First building using the Capitol's old exterior

2nd building

[Cadeho]

The third building I've created on Photoshop. I drew it today at work and decided to give it a try. It's not as I envisioned it, but I think it works. I'm sure there are some flaws, but eh... it works!

Interesting. Unique approach, but for now it still reminds me of this..

HAHA! I did not think of that! Before I tinkered with the sketch, it started to look like a fire hydrant!

Ok I'm going to bed now... the second sketch from yesterday to be drawn. Again, it's just me playing around...

Imagine... Richmond?

OMG! I had to laugh at that shuttle again!

[TBurban]

That shuttle was pretty funny.

I LOVE the designs, Cam

[Cadeho]

Based on a sketch from 8/29. Still not exactly as it was sketched, and I had a problem creating bays, so I made one with them and one without.

[TBurban]

Wow. Its art deco mixed with a bit of a modern touch. I see youve also used the MCV West Hospital top. It came out great, Cam

[Shakman]

Me like!!! Just add about 20 more floors and me will love.

[burt]

Me like!!! Just add about 20 more floors and me will love.

Thank you, Tarzan. Cheetah agree.

[Cadeho]

Thanks guys. I added more floors... it's about 20 more but counting the windows blinded me!

And I just finished the blueish one.

[Shakman]

I counted 40!!!

Now me LOVE... That would be one hell of an addition to city's skyline. Imagine if that tower were at Foundry Park.

Forward it to Mead for their headquarters.

[Cadeho]

I'm glad you like. It would be impressive towerring over the Fed Reserve! Nouveau Art Deco eh?

[Downtowner]

I really don't get how we have more impressive designs than these so called architects that develop all these flat boxes to our skyline I really wish one of us could take all these designs and forward them to developers and Architects cause I hate all these flat boxes as I had called Richmond agan Flat Box City

[TBurban]

I plan on doing the whole skyline. This is to a general scale.

Wow! That really looks cool. Is there any way you can do the whole skyline and then be able to manipulate it so that you get the 360 degree view at a viewer's leisure? If so, that would REALLY be cool. If not, that's OK, please post the final on this site (perhaps on our new Richmond page) so that people visiting can get a good idea of how dense our city is. What do you think? Maybe you can even add color to the buildings to look just like they do in real life. It's more work, I know, but man, this looks good!

Thanks man! When I finish the whole thing, I was going to do views from the north, south, east and west and then maybe a few aerials. When I add color, it lags a little, but Ill see what I can do
