This is begging for a render and site placement.

Thanks for the very kind, as usual, words.

I really like (love) aspects of the design mate - the only thing that jumps at me though is the spiral staircase. It seems at odds with the 99.9% rectilinear forms - sought of saying "dam I need to get up there, but now how?"!

Hey just went through your design and I must say its quite impressive for a third yr project. And if you dont mind sharing the plans, I would love to study this project.. Thank you Fatima[/color]

thanks alot Bryan! The voting looks good this far...i guess i'll make it to the Top 5 in the public voting

Thanks jpalm32 Its 'draft' project. First analysis and sketchy design before working construction documents.

Vielen Dank Carloh. Thank You. But this direct SketchUp output version I made only to show that it is a “real” SketchUp model. The “hard” work was to illuminate the city for the direct rendering without post processing.

Thank you for your comments! @alvis: now that I see your sticks I noticed that my spheres are too small in comparison to the sticks. I'm not able to make trinagles this way Next time, I will search for real ones before modeling...

oh in the darkroom. nice.

Nice "small" projects!

Oli: Thank you for all the great tips! Just created a dropbox folder, so I will share the link w/anyone wanting the model.

Beautiful!

Thanks for the comments guys. It's a relief to play with a simple scene after so much archviz. I also love the fast benchmark. I tried to be abstract and non-denominational.

@olishea said: Yeah phone's used to be fashionably small. I love small phones. Remember the old Nokia 8210? Now they're becoming bricks with huge screens. I understand the smartphone revolution and need for a bigger screen, but would be nice to see equivalent mini phones again. I still believe this is one of the best looking and most practical phones around. Plus it was TINY!! [image: nokia8210.jpg] agreed! that and lack of style too... nowadays its all about the bigger screen, cause the phone isnt made for phone calls anymore, but for games and internet my choice? i use a simple non-smart phone for calls and a tablet for the rest the best one i had, was this one, though.. super-light, super-thin, i had battery for a week and i droped it like a 1000 times, and the thing never broke [image: lhef_1024px-Motorola_RAZR_V3i_03.JPG]
