[Aleks]

This is a competition to see who makes the best skyscraper that is as tall as the year of the country you decide to represent got its independence.

ex. The Freedom Tower is 1776 feet tall because the Independence year of the U.S. is 1776.

Rules:
1. Height must = the independence year of a country.
2. Needs to not only represent your country but have a symbol that represents the free and united world.
3. Any style is fine but it has to do with the country you picked.
3. Textures or no textures are fine.
4. 1 year = 1 foot. 1 month = 1 inch.
5. Each participant can enter a max. of 3 designs but choose 1 for the final vote.
6. Design must be original.
7. You must include an approximate floor count.
8. Roof must be under height or chosen height.
9. It can be a Skyscraper, or Freestanding Structure

what about if most of us live in the same counrty??

[mikeR]

how about we get 2 pick a country but it has to have things that relate to the country in the design

[Aleks]

thats why i said "the country you decide to represent" that way more countries are chosen. So who's gonna participate?

[foxmtbr]

I will make a Scottish building that is under construction, growing 1 foot every year. Sean Connery will reside in it and fight to have the construction stopped.

[Dac150]

I'll make one for Antartica. okay, i'm done.

[Aleks]

I don't think Antarctica is a country... it's just a piece of land divided into regions which are owned by 1 or more countries. They don't count as part of the country though.

[Austin55]

So, I can make a building for sweden?

[Mocholate]

[Austin55]

One day,they shall rise up and destroy your monument.
I got SWEDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mocholate]

what do you mean 'one day'

[Aleks]

I already made my first 1.
Name: Torre De La Independencia (which means Independence Tower).
Height: 2012 feet to Antenna
Roof Height: 1821 feet.
Completion: 2012
Floors: 120-130
Location: Mexico city

Design. viewed from the top the tower is round like the Aztec Calendar. Different sections are divided through out the height of the tower like the Aztec Pyramids.As the Tower reaches its final height it shrinks like the Pyramids in Mexico city.





Symbol of World Unity.
There are 48 flag poles in a round position measuring from 202 feet 9 inches to 98 feet and 3 inches. These 48 flag poles surround a 365 foot wide metal globe which is tilted at 13.7 degrees like the earth and is hollow but has a revolving restaurant inside (i didn't sketch the restaurant i forgot).



Museum.
There is a museum at the North end of the site. This is the country's history museum and has a 600 foot tall flag pole where a 150 foot tall flag is anchored.

[Dac150]

A 600ft tall flagpole.............wow.

[Austin55]
