Here is my proposal commemorating USA gaining independence in 1776

Name:
US Independence Tower

Location:
Miami, Florida, United States

Construction:
2015-2017

Use:
Mixed

Height:
1,776 ft. to antenna/spire
1,400 ft. to roof

Floor Count:
70 floors

Floor Area:
3,300,000 sq. ft.

The spire is the signature part of the building. It will be a world famous spire.
The building is a 13-sided figure, or triskaidecagon for the 13 colonies.

There is a world famous cafe, a restraunt, and observation deck at the very top level.

Thirteen 50 ft. US flags surround the bottom of the building in memory of the 13 colonies.

These components were added as a benchmark for the building's size only.

A view above:

Thanks austin.

I wish this competition were more popular like the deco one. It seems kind of dead.

Awesome job! I'm too lazy to put anything worthwhile together.

Nice one Peter

I'm not feeling too much inspiration for this one either +our history sucks ass

a project like this is reminding me too much of school

I still feel mine is the best. I mean come on, a 100 floor building in the shape of a flagpole. What can beat that?

mikeR · #48 Posted **Aug 12, 2007, 11:11 PM**

1291 ft in Switzerland somewhere

Aleks · #49 Posted **Aug 12, 2007, 11:22 PM**

Aleks · #50 Posted **Aug 12, 2007, 11:51 PM**

I was thinking that the tower would only have maybe 3 or 4 floors but the small building opposite of the tower would be an contemporary art museum with 12 floors

Aleks · #52 Posted **Aug 13, 2007, 3:47 AM**

So it's a Freestanding structure?

mikeR · #53 Posted **Aug 13, 2007, 4:33 AM**
