So what do you think? favorites? Highly dislike?

[Mocholate]

Very cool , any plans to make a full city ?

I like the one with red stripe and the 2 storey is very unique

no 3 the concept is good but a bit of tweaking it could look better
:cool:

[Pingyao]

I like the tower with the single red vertical band and the partial view of the building directly below, with the angled struts over the glass behind. I think you should make a city as well, they'll look cool together!

[Dac150]

Very well detailed work there. I suggest you make a city.

[kpexpress]

The reason that I haven't done a city is because the computer that I used to build the models that are near the top of the thread was too slow to handle it. Now that I have a badass Imac, I may try it. I like the idea.

Its so amazingly easy. I like your towers,maimly the 2 deco's.

[foxmtbr]

I like the stuff at the end. (Actually, I like it all. :)) Is some of the stuff college work, or is it all just for fun? There's a ton of detail.

[Trantor]

This is a brazilian style building. Really.

This one would looks better if the towers were taller and the thing in the middle was gone!

This one is fine: Reminds me of Miami.

This one would look awesome detailed. Like a musem or something

This tower must have taken forever to complete unless you copied and pasted.

I actually start school on Monday (first year undergrad at NewSchool of Architecture and Design in SD,CA).

Some of the models have been used in portfolio, but no schooling yet.

Aleks01 I have done a few variations of the building with the center, here is the taller variation of this building.

as for the one that you think looks like a museum, that was as result of a hypothetical development in my hometown of Provo, UT. The center building was an office building and the sides were condos with businesses below. The building behind the main portion is a parking garage for this model.

A few more pics of some of the better models

Here is another office tower done (inspired by water towers) all the floors are above a massive open air atria with a suspended air lobby (glass floor included)

The red on the side and top of the building would be lit up bright at night...you can imagine how cool eh?

You have a good future ahead of you from the looks of it.

Favourite would have to be the apartment building with the red stripe!
