thanks! yeah, i like incorporating more than just work space into my designs. i believe it takes more than just a nice design to create a great building. while i'm not picky about symbols integrated with the design, i do think its important to have something which represents local culture.

well, i'm using vray now and to tell you the truth, i have no idea. i could not get glass that i wanted so when i finally got something decent looking i just left it the way it was.

yeah, i wanted the glass to be more reflective and less transparent. i didn't know how to do ass more reflections at the time but i'm getting closer to gettin vray down.

I love the design, I so wish we could get something like that built here in Boise. But alas, our citizens are far too conservative for that. Still, wonderful work!

yeah! you should be here posting more often! its slowwww as hell! and yeah, i doubt something like this would be built here in seattle anyways. i feel like the design is fine, but finding someone to finance such large pieces of artwork and amount of green technology for such a small building would be hard. when dac becomes a developer hopefully he'll invest in my designs

thanks! i like to think, even though its probably not my best skill.

yeah, i'm trying to bring more "european" styled modern buildings to the united states. we're seriously falling behind imo and we're still clinging to that HIDEOUS beige which is in malls, residential buildings, offices, and everywhere around!

thanks! yup, dragon. i would love to see this project come to life
anyways, i'm working on a new project. I'll introduce it in a couple days, maybe tomorrow or sunday. i won't say much, only that it'll become one of the tallest buildings in the city and have a TALL lobby.
