Hello everybody! I've come to this forum from time to time in the past and enjoyed the great conversations and architecture which is presented throughout the boards. I finally decided to sign up.
At the end of January I began working on my first large-scale sketchup hobby project, to which I dedicate this thread; the design for a capitol city of a fictional empire.
It has been my goal to reflect an imperial style of design throughout the model. The capitol campus, at the center of the map, has taken shape significantly. In the future I will begin expanding outwardly to create an urban landscape surrounding it.
Below is a rendering of the complex:
Here is a basic rundown of the theoretical functions which the currently present structures serve:
Phase I, The Judicial Ministry complex is seen at back (The complex includes 20 connected buildings behind a facade and windmill stacks)
Phase II, The Economic and Military Administrative complex (The complex featuring twin pentagon-shaped domed buildings)
Phase III, The Cultural Ministry, Archives, and U.S. Embassy Complex (still under construction as I write this) (Features Twin Towers at left, Central Domed Structure, and Twin Pyramids)
An underground train concourse allows convenient transportation connections between all of these buildings.
Update: original video removed. Most recent video rendering is located later in this thread.

I plan to spend the rest of the year working on this project. I will make periodic new updates as they occur.
