^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:

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

Thanks so much!

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

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

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

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.

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??
