thats what most people think when they see a concrete tower or anything remotely black and white.....system built housing. weird isn't it!
sid I wish 1960s architecture looked like this!
it looks amazing printed out, i got it on the office wall. my boss said : "wow, death tower"
imposing doesn't always have a negative connotation....but it certainly adds drama.

Oli you discovered an unpublished work of Le Corbusier.
Here is a preliminary sketch of the master...

"thats what most people think when they see a concrete tower or anything remotely black and white.....system built housing. weird isn't it!"
It is because people are conditioned by the parents aspirations and upbringing IMO.
"sid I wish 1960s architecture looked like this!"
I wish as well. Unfortunately 1960s modernity was hijacked in the name of housing people on cheap. Majority of the projects were designed by mediocre architects or in a many cases by engineers. The quality of built was appaling as well.
Concrete is as beautiful as any material. It is the way how it is used that determines the beauty or lack of it. I suggest that doubters look at the work of Corb in more depth or our contemporary, Tadao Ando. -
I didnt mean it reminded me in looks I know the style is completely off I just meant the dark colors and imposing monolithic shape on the landscape, grey dull you get the idea. I know concrete can be great but obv the stereotype is tower block stuff.

i understood what u meant mate don't worry!
massimo: that looks great.....is it straight from sketchup?
-
seriously? haha nice, please share this style!

Yeah, I made this for fun trying to learn "Style builder" grabbing some lines from LC's real sketches.

Hmmm, I can't help you. Don't know how to do that on mac.
-
Surely dropping the file in styles will do.

sorted! i had to make my own styles folder, it doesn't create one by default (or at least I cant find it)....thats weird.

Played a bit with your beautiful images, hope you don't mind Oli. Heavy PS
More DOF + volumetric light + some cloud effect overlayed on the tower + a bit of grain
