Tom Keep - Light Omitting Pyramid

Hello all,

I'm also a newbie to this kind of thing, but thought it sounded like fun, so here is my entry/proposal of the Architectural Wonder Contest. My idea, i hope that it fits in with the rules/specs of the competition, is some sort of Pyramid, along the lines of the Japanese Sky City meets Le Corbusier. It is possibly functioning as mass housing, or possibly as a power generator. The setting of this, i am less certain of, maybe metropolis style city, maybe desert... Anyway, it's going to involve pyramids, lots of sharp edges, and lots of lights.

Cheers

tek

Tom, welcome abroad and I like your concept for the AW-II entry. Show as a concept sketch and we will see how you want to make your structure stand out. Good Luck

Re: Tom Keep - Light Omitting Pyramid

Hi again, here is a sketch to give you a rough idea of what i'm talking about. Multiple p'rids, internal light sources, etc...

Thanks

Re: Tom Keep - Light Omitting Pyramid

Hi everyone, just wanted some feed back about the modelling so far, the idea has evolved a bit, becoming more of a power station than anything else. Going to composite it into a desert scene, improve the lights etc. Just thought id keep you posted about the progress...

Re: Tom Keep - Light Omitting Pyramid

It is looking good, I like it. Perhaps the tubes/conduits coming out of the pyramid could pass through some support blocks or something to reduce the electrical conduit look and give it a grander scale. That is about all I see, it looks great!
