SSP Comp.- In Chicago - Page 3

Pingyao · #41 Posted **Mar 1, 2009, 11:35 PM**

Have been following these comps for a while - I feel kinda inspired by this one, so I'll try and submit an entry...fingers crossed. Here's my site, just downstream from Trump International Hotel.

Do we send finished entries by PM to Austin55?

Done some research, have great idea in mind - Hope i win cos next comp = revenge - Location Chatswood, NSW

But Chicago is a major international city, like Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Gold coast, or Alice even.

I dont care, Location specific comps sucks!. P.s add Adelaide,Canberra and Darwin

mr austin a few questions for you.....can i do a building with out choosing a location........do a building completely by itself.......do a building with the chicago as a background image......how many pics to enter.....when is the deadline ...can i superimpose a tower into skyline without showing its ground location..........

mr toyota74

^You could do that, but given that context to location is part of the program for this contest, I doubt you would win.

Like all of the contests, you submit as many pics as you feel you need to present your entry effectively.

Win a comp, and you make the rules for the next one.

Austin55 · #49 Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 5:24 AM**

^^ Yeah what he said is what I was thinking.

Send entries to Aleks, if you send tthem to me I will just forward them to Aleks.

2 weeks left about? How's progress on everyone work going? (just say don't post pictures or whatever)

Patrick · #50 Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 5:42 AM**

Mine sucks!

Mocholate · #51 Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 7:25 AM**

Yeah i already said i want to win it so i can make it hard for everyone like Chicago and NYC comps are for me, That is the sole point of my discussion.

toyota74 · #52 Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 8:53 AM**

so im better off putting it in downtown somewhere , so people can see its chicago,using google earth as a ground plan and backdrop...can i demolish some plain midrise or lowrise....??????

toyota74 · #53 Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 12:47 PM**

a week later i have finally chosen a site that im happy .it looks like a construction site to me,dont know whats being built there but im keeping this spot.....no budge!

Aleks · #54 Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 9:31 PM**

That lot is already taken by Aqua, a residential Tower.

toyota74 · #55 Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 10:02 PM**

i give up.skip this comp

Aleks · #56 Posted **Mar 5, 2009, 2:38 AM**

Why? There are dozens of sites where you could built an awesome skyscraper! And it doesn't have to be very big like the Spire. It can be 500 feet, 1000 ft or even more. As long as you enter.

I've been busy with chemistry, AP US History and this College Project so this model won't be as detailed as all my other ones. I just hope that I can enter because it's too good of a comp to drop out of.

Patrick · #57 Posted **Mar 5, 2009, 5:13 AM**

Mine

I'll try working on mine a bit more this weekend, I already got the massing and basic textures.

Why don't you take one of the other sites I mentioned earlier in the thread? There are some good ones down Michigan Ave, near Congress and a few blocks south of there too.

The rules for this one state you can knock down lowrise/midrise, just not highrises or buildings designated historic (like the Tribune Tower or Wrigley Building).
