Push/Pull Tower + model/render challenge, page 2

"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.

olishea

i understood what u meant mate don't worry!

massimo: that looks great.....is it straight from sketchup?

olishea

seriously? haha nice, please share this style!

massimo

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

Added in previous post.

This is more serious. I used this thin pencil (0,5 mm) when i was a young student.

massimo

Hmmm, I can't help you. Don't know how to do that on mac.

sepo

Surely dropping the file in styles will do.

olishea

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.

thanks massimo it looks great

massimo

Another one. This is how sometimes I made my drawings with indian ink.

I like it very much!

massimo

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
More DOF + volumetric light + some cloud effect overlayed on the tower + a bit of grain + gaussian blur
More DOF + volumetric light + some cloud effect overlayed on the tower + a bit of grain + gaussian blur + beyond edger filter + a bit of blue.

olishea

no i dont mind massimo, do what you like. this is an experiment thread. great images...i like your first one best, inky blue looks cool as well.

bytor I love it! so simple......looks great! funny how just a splash of colour can completely change the mood of the architecture!

Please guys be as experimental as you like.....its not a competition or anything....so dont be afraid to have a go and have fun!!
