Hey guys, since I cant find an Canadian SSP fantasy render thread on the Canada page, I'm making one! So far, this is my latest:

ZEgKlTQI9-M

Did I do good? :P

[Simpseatles]

^Wow, that's awesome! I really like the shapes of the buildings, and the LRT line.

I don't have anything that cool, but here's some dream proposal's I've sketched up for London:

a building I made for no particular location; I called it spectrum condos.

Thanks! Posted it in the Manitoba area and got no response yet (new thread too)

I used to draw TONS of cityscapes and buildings on paper, but lately, I havent had the free high school art supplies to do so :(

[isaidso]

haha no, I think i did it before that was proposed. (maybe brad lamb was inspired by me? LOL)

That's what I was going to write. People invariably give credit to the 1st famous/public example when for all we know there could have been hundreds before it.

For example, I invented the minivan 4 years before Chrysler. :D

Well I have always thought that, this @ 45 Bay would be amazing.... If anyone can render such a tower for me, it would be cool to see..http://canadacup 87

crap It didnt work... Could someone post a pic of the 87 Canada cup Trophy.... and then picture it as a 850 foot tower/..... It would be a National symbol world famous.... A London Shard But Better!!!!! All the 87 team would have to sign the corner stone...LOL ( the greatest team ever assembled by one nation??

Shoot, maybe have it go 999 .9 feet!!!

great idea for a thread. Here's what AndrewJM3D posted in another thread:

A little deco/modernist condo/office tower I whipped up. 75 floors around 290m.

that tower is very skinny for 150m... I suggest you make the floorplate a bit bigger ;)

Thanks so much! :)

I think that's probably my favourite fantasy design so far.

[Surrealplaces]

Here's some towers I designed just for kicks. I designed these before the Bow design was released thinking Encana could pay me a lot less than Foster to do do the design ;)

Wow, this one is awesome!:cool:

The top kinda reminds me of Scotia Plaza, and the spires remind me of The John Hancock Building.

[chrisallard5454]

Over the last couple of days I decided to rid myself of boredom and try to come up with an idea for Parcel four. So what I have come up with so far, is a plot and part of a design for one of the many buildings.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8440/7944169226_36b759628a_b.jpg

The plot represents three segments divided by pedestrian roads all meeting at a square, which could have a pond, field or leisure rink. Hot Dog venders would be free to set up shop where ever. Store fronts would line the streets. Buskers would come and go as they please. I have always felt Winnipeg needs a pedestrian strip, so why not create one on Parcel Four? I am not an urban designer nor an architect, so please only constructive criticism rather than straight out insults. So far I only have half the facade of the South East corner finished on one set. Here it is.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8303/7944385114_cdc4f522fc_b.jpg

The white is unfinished area, and the building is no where near completion, but I thought I might ask for some feedback before going any further. The main floor closest to you is a restaurant with the cantilever overtop an outdoor patio area. There will be multiple storefronts along all sides of all of the buildings. With the second and third floors (closest to you) being condo's. To the south (left) of the Condo's is a second story rooftop patio for another restaurant. I still have a ways to go, but I am trying to include the multipurpose aspect as much as I can. This is only 1 of 3-6 buildings on the plot. I was thinking of putting a tower on top of this as well, however I am not sure. If so I don't know how big or tall it should be.

Also the red is way brighter than I had intended it to be. Maxwell took the materials and really brightened them up, so some editing may be needed there as well.

If the Cantilever is too big (which I am assuming it is) I was thinking of veiling multiple random clone formation posts as a modern piece of artwork for support somewhere in the middle.

Something like this, but round, metal clad, and on a much smaller scale.

I will try one day to make a skyscraper. For now , I have nothing except this :

I did that house when I studied to become a draftsman :
http://imageshack.us/a/img402/7200/maisonperspective.jpg
...But apparently, the windows aren't done.

Also, I did a quick ''photofiltre'' update for that house in ruins in Quebec city.

First version :

Second version + the house right now
http://imageshack.us/a/img35/2897/2298924428f3e52f853ebco.jpg
..By the way, if you're asking, yes I forgot the door lol

And finally, that house, I did serveral years ago. With Autocad.

Hamilton is where I call home. Our city is on the uprise with lots of new developments popping up all over the place. I have a few of my own ideas. Here's one of them. Made in Cinema 4D and Photoshop. I call this one, RBC Towers.

Scale is a bit off but ok. . .

Scale is a bit off but ok. . .

Yes, definitely my scale is quite off. It's not easy relying on google street view images to use. It's more there on the street to gauge the look and how it would fit in.

Nice composites! I like that spire looking one more east. It would be nice to give the CN a little competition. personally I can't ait to see 88 Scott and Ten York built. Those look like 2 gorgeous towers.

[Chadillaccc]

I can't wait for 45 Bay! That one will realllly stand out!

My building design from the last page very roughly edited into the empty lot:

[the905sDW]

As I believe Hamilton is short a few decent hotels, I rendered very roughly a new glass hotel and residence tower at the corner or bay and king. Inspired by NYCs WTC 3 building and the new Telus building downtown Toronto.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2ughw0p.jpg

[the905sDW]

So after a long time finessing my render and adding an additional shorter tower for stores, I think what I've come up with is a good idea for that space. Also keeping with the original proposed diagram and footprint of that space, I think my concept would work.

Let me know what you guys think! :)
