I thought you were going to make a poll. I think that would be more fair.

I'm sorry, but it just doesn't appeal to me in this case related to the competition, it is just far from having the ability to be realised.

I wasn't really going for the boring corporate box style that everyone else seems to be doing.

As for the blades that stick out not having any use, they could be used to collect rain water which could then be used for the toilets.
You could have solar panels/windmills in them.
And they could also be used like chimneys to draw heat out of the building reducing the need for air conditioning in the summer.

Sure you probably couldn't build them that high, but we can dream.

And I agree that the poll would be more fair.

This should be a very fun and in depth discussionable thread.
Anybody can enter!
Good Luck!

[Tanster]

[Dac150]

Someone else make a pole because I don't know how.

[Imperar]

I agree, I wanna vote!!! I'll make a thread, but I can't do it now.

btw, Patrick is your design on GoogleSketchup Warehouse? I'd like to download it

(PS. I also think you should submit your design for real before those mad, mad people decide to start building a monstrosity out of the NY skyline)

You're a little late.

[Imperar]

You're a little late.

I'm not the one submitting.

[Tanster]

so who is going to post the pole ???/

[Atlas]

I'll post the poll. I put a time limit to vote of 5 days (that's when voting will end). Let me know if you want me to change that.

EDIT: I just found out I can't edit the poll, only the post.

Thanks Atlas
