Are we allowed to post buildings form our own city?

Dac150 · #31 Posted **Aug 6, 2007, 1:59 PM**

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No, I think an original building is better.

CGII · #32 Posted **Aug 6, 2007, 2:19 PM**

I was confused about your instructions at first, especially how a lack of windows meant 'skill,' but what you want is a massing model, not a detailed model of any building. You want the buildings judged on their form and nothing else, and you want entries that look like Hugh Ferris sketches:

Dac150 · #33 Posted **Aug 6, 2007, 3:02 PM**

Yes. That is exactly it. Look at my entry on the 1st page as an example.

Cirrus · #34 Posted **Aug 6, 2007, 6:22 PM**

It is complete folly to suggest that geometric shape is the only component of design. The detail of texture is as or even more important, particularly in regards to pre-modernist styles such as Art-Deco.

Not that I don't think massing models are useful, but to suggest that massing = design is narrow minded.

Cirrus · #35 Posted **Aug 6, 2007, 6:24 PM**

Anyway, I have a design sitting around here I may as throw into the ring... though I'll have to find it.

please clarify a little better about how my design isn't original and why it is better if I just come up with the idea now instead of 3 months ago.

I'm just a little confused here

It's better in this case if it's fresh from the mind. So if you don't mind, make a new one from scratch.

No, Thanks I'm ok with my current design.

O and my mind was fresh the whole time I was making it.

I think all who have already posted their design should start again anyway and post it as per original instructions ,i.e 8th August - it makes it more likely that someone will top your design knowing what you guys have already done

Mocholate · #40 Posted **Aug 6, 2007, 6:58 PM**

10th August ,oops
