Mulligan's Valley

[verticalextropy]

Thanks DAc, Yes, that's what I meant by judging, it doesnt have to have a negative connotation.
I don't know, this buiding brings me the deja vu, I was expecting someone to identify something similar IRL but perhaps it's an old though of mine.

I made VerticalX Co thicker, then I made a building to fit the odd 60s texture, and, I'm continuing the construction of this other building.




How do you guys think the top of the tower on the left should be? plain? a spire? perhaps an ellegant dome? IT reminds me of a hi rise version of the Marquis Reforma Hotel in D.F.

IT just needs something one the roof and a base/podim.

[treras93]

Definitely much better! very nice. like austin said it just needs a base and something on the roof and it will be perfect

[Aleks]

I just think it needs a tall podium on one whole side. It would look big and dominative around the other buildings.

[verticalextropy]

thanks! what about the green 60's monstrosity? like it? hate it?

[Austin55]

love it!

[verticalextropy]

good. it will be Mulligan's first "brutalistic" building. I smell british capitals in its investment (thought when I think about it, there was no capital in England in the 60s! )

[Aleks]

I don't think it's ugly. I like it. Seems like something you would find here in Seattle during the 62 Worlds Fair.

[verticalextropy]

Seattle's 62 w fair!!! that reminds me of my googie stage. Now I'll have to make a monorail and a space needle. hehe. really (if you check my FIRST city, it had a space needle).

Aleks, do you know the marquis reforma in D.F.? I've seen its influence in Tres Islas Marias. btw have you ever been to D.F.?

Brain fart,whats DF? Districo Finicilo or something?

[Aleks]

Marquis Reforma? Is it a building or a type of architecture?


Anyways, yeah. D.F. is Mexico City. Just like Washington is actually D.C. But yeah I've been there a couple times I was just little and don't remember much. I remember arriving at the airport and seeing an endless see of lights though. That was pretty tight.

[verticalextropy]

Distrito Federal, means Mexico City, like saying DC instead of Washington, DC.

[verticalextropy]

it's a hotel in front of a landmark (the Diana archer girl). I didnt stay there, (it's like the most expensive one), but I was struck by it when I saw it from a cab when I was 12.

[Austin55]

It looks dangerous

she should serously put on some clothes

[Aleks]

Haha I beat you. Anyways, really? Where do you see it?

[verticalextropy]

no I beated you! damn south american lag!
It's in front of the Diana, on the Paseo de la Reforma, and not far from the Woods of Chapultepec.
or just gooooooogle marquis reforma

[Aleks]

No, I mean where do you see it in Tres Islas?

[verticalextropy]

Maybe it was West Point, but I remember you making post modern buildings with some romanic arches, with some mediterranean touch, plus the pink/sepia.
Yeah, next to 1 residential.

[verticalextropy]

i actually thought you were directly inspired by that hotel
