I like the proportions on AVA , puts a new twist on the twist

Aleks · #**183** Posted **Sep 14, 2007, 4:04 AM**

Thanks, the point was to add views while keeping the building simple and to not make the typical square twisting tower. It fits in perfectly in the zone because of the Freedom Square and La Corte City Hall are on the sides so they block off views. I also like the color =].

I have had a design for a tower on a piece of paper for months now, and I finally got it right in Sketchup. The problem is that the tower was inspired by a plant growing, representing life, it was going to be green and called Life at La Corte. Then I realized that the tower also looked like a fountain! If I decide to make it look like a fountain it will be blue instead of green and be called Fountain Place instead of Life at La Corte. So what should I do?

I like both ideas but only one can be made.

The only way I can make both towers is if I make two twin towers, but I don't know if it would look good. One green, one blue.

Please peeps I need help choosing one of those 3 options!!

I know one thing for sure , that its damn cool

I don't think 2 would look good
How bout green and blue ?
But remember the saying "blue and green should not be seen unless there's something in between"

Aleks · #**186** Posted **Sep 15, 2007, 7:40 PM**

Lol, it's so confusing and indecisive. I don't think I would like green and blue combined. I'll wait and see what more people choose.

What happened to your avatar Mo? I can't see it.

Mocholate · #**187** Posted **Sep 15, 2007, 8:02 PM**

Eh, just going for something unique with the plain avatar

All of those update went under my radar. All the new buildings are fantastic. I would go for Fountain Place.

Aleks · #**190** Posted **Sep 15, 2007, 10:33 PM**

Yeah, I thought the Sheraton looked out of place. Well every city needs an out-of-place building and La Cortes is the Sheraton!

K I'll make it Fountain Place. Sorry Austin but Fountain Plaza sounds unfit for this building + there's going to be a mall under the tower.

Aleks · #**191** Posted **Sep 16, 2007, 7:56 PM**

Ok. Since school started I will still construct my towers but faster. I'll will probably finish towers over 1000 ft. in 3-4 updates because I won't have much time to update. This also insures that the thread keeps alive!

p.s. I forgot to ask this but does anybody know where I got the inspiration for Freedom Square (blue tower next to AVA)?

Mocholate · #**192** Posted **Sep 16, 2007, 8:24 PM**

It looks familiar ,but i dunno the names

Aleks · #**193** Posted **Sep 17, 2007, 6:03 AM**

Well I think I gave the inspiration source with the name. Let's see, the tower is blue, has a crown at the top, and the name is Liberty Square. I think all those clues lead up to one thing.....The Statue of Liberty!!

I don't know if anybody noticed but that's where the inspiration came from.

Aleks · #**194** Posted **Sep 18, 2007, 4:28 AM**

Lol, I post too manu comments on my thread. Oh well, even if I don't get many replies I know many people look at it so it's just fine with me. Anyways, I'll post an update tomorrow.

Man is this update gonna be good. I will release the master plan for the island which La Corte stands on. It will have an extinct volcano on the South side of the island and will include 3 cities.

They are:
1. La Corte
2. Grand point of the West (still thinking about a name, please help, I want a name with a tropical feeling but not like Miami).
3. Unknown Name (what I said on #2).

The trading ports will be huge.
1. Le Grand Port
2. ? International Airport.

Of course I haven't forgotten about sports.
Olympiad! The chosen site for the 2012 Olympics!

I will also post new towers/Under Cons.

Wow, I write a lot. Anyways right here it's 9:29 p.m. So PEACE.

I'm sorry, I'm so busy these days, I need to catch up. Awsome job!! Oh and green AND blue on that tower is my opinion.

Tanster · #**196** Posted **Sep 18, 2007, 6:21 AM**

wow do you do all the floors

Aleks · #**197** Posted **Sep 19, 2007, 12:18 AM**

Yeah I do all my floors. It's easy if you know how to do it. Just use the intercept tool and a whole bunch of boxes stacked on top of each other. If anybody wants to learn how to do it just ask and I'll show them how.

treras93 · #**198** Posted **Sep 19, 2007, 12:45 AM**

wats the intercept tool

Aleks · #**199** Posted **Sep 19, 2007, 2:07 AM**

What version do you have of Sketchup?

Aleks · #**200** Posted **Sep 19, 2007, 2:13 AM**

K. I just wanted to waste the last comment on this page before I posted updates.
