Timothy Saunders - Big Towers

I am going to try to pull off a literal merge of classical form and modern design. My theme is a typical romanesque column. I'll be taking two of them and morphing them into two office towers connected by bridges every few levels. I'm possibly thinking of having a glass elevator shaft up the middle. We'll see.

Re: Timothy Saunders - Big Towers

Thanks guys. I'm affraid since I'll be gone to Siggraph all next week I won't be able to work on it until I get back. I'm excited to get modeling though. As far as continuing with the "column" theme, I plan to take the common shape of a column and mimick that on the main tubes of the building in the actual shape (you know with those verticle ribs that go up a column). This will all be done with glass and metal (it's nice not having a budget). I'm really excited to come up with something cool for the bridges (similar to the petronas towers only more bridges) and the elevator.

Hi Timothy Saunders. Reinterpretation of classical themes is always inspiring, and it seems you are off to a good start.

Grrr, everybody who is anybody seems to have gone to Siggraph... I want to go to Siggraph! (sob)
