Abram Syphrett - Roccia de Speranza - 3DAllusions

Greetings,

I am new to this forum, and 3D Allusions for that matter, but was intrigued when I saw an advertisement for the contest on CG Architect. Therefore, I started brainstorming and thinking of ‘breathtaking architecture’ and it seems to me, the most impressive and acclaimed architecture throughout history was in some way related to religion. So on that assertion I have decided to create a modern cathedral, which I will call Roccia de Speranza (Rock of Hope). It will resemble a Gothic cathedral, but I will make the construction, materials, etc, decidedly more modern as laid out in the guidelines.

The main exterior component will be granite, along with other more industrial materials, while the interior will be the finest of natural materials. As with many ancient buildings of cultural prominence being placed in a lofty position, I will have my cathedral perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean, with grassy rolling fields on the other sides.

Well, that is my idea at this point. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and finish sketching it out as of yet, but if my schedule allow I will try and get to that in the next few days.

Hi Abram, welcome to the contest. I took the liberty to hange your entry title because it wasn't inside the submission rules. Your project has lots of potencial to be a great entry. Good luck!!

Greetings,

Well, after a few tries, here are my sketches. I am not sure which I am going to go with yet, the interior or the exterior, so I have both sketches.

Enjoy
