A dam in my park which is themed to Futuristic France taken over by an evil madman

not trying to be harsh but...

too ugly
too big
too many windows
too random
too much red
too much white

creative, but not pulled off well.
on a lighter note, you have improved somewhat, but not much
sorry man, keep trying

yeah, well, why randomly click together a structure, take a screen of it, cut it together and post ...

Ok, you've improved.

But you have to go somewhere from rock bottom.


Basically, it's a structure with no meaning, orientation, or aesthetic qualities at all. You throw a bunch of blocks randomly up and added windows. It makes no sense, unless you're trying to be post-modern or something. Or create some mutated hybrid of Gaudi and Eisenman.

^Nah, if it was Gaudi, it'd have curves.

Ok, so your 'theme' is: "Futuristic France taken over by an evil madman".

Looks nothing like France, it's not really all that futuristic, and it doesn't look evil.

Things to work on:
General Ideas - Come up with something practical, something you can actually build. Don't be original for the hell of it.
Color Schemes - Blood red, white, grey, black? Good color schemes have two things: variety and contrast. You have neither.
Architecture - That building wouldn't stand up. You have too many overhanging elements... it looks vauglely like something out of a Dr. Suess book. Also, making the structure symettrical doesn't take away from it's randomness.

Finally, finish more than a single building before announcing a park. If you don't have the paitience to do that, the park will never be finished anyway.

Yeah, its a random structure. But, it is pretty cool nonetheless. The colors aren't as bad as made out to be either, in my opinion. To be honest, I like it.

I've got quite a bit more done, but I don't want to over advertise. I guess it might not, but I prefer a more surrealistic style. There's a bit more to the them than that, but I don't want to spoil it all yet. More soon.

You have too many overhanging elements

For the record:


Points to those who can name the architect.

This is not an endorsement of HandyAndyG's architecture.

Habitat 67 - Moshe Safdie.

Let me rephrase then:

You don't use overhanging elements correctly.

hmmm, theres really nothing that hasn't already been posted here that I need to say other than,

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?


...that structure makes my buildings look normal

That's just the tip of the iceberg, guys. Glad you're enjoying it so far. Okay, maybe not, but it'll grow on you. Trust me. You ain't seen nothing yet.

You "ain't" shown nothing yet.

why is there gray water in the screen?

Stop being so boring, everyone.

^^The water's polluted with industrial chemicals.

Wow nate, you made this topic worth while. That building is AWESOME!!!


Anyways, the screen the topic is about...


uhm, right.


I think there's this idea to make a building that indeed 'overhangs' alot, which is cool. It's not pulled off well though. I think the colors don't work either as been said before, and really, themes like that just make no sense whatsoever. The only way to make a theme like that worthwhile is when the buildings look like buildings and convince you of their theme, and these don't. (they do convince me the ego of mr. handy andy is way too big, though) (however big the ego exactly is, i'll leave the measurement up to someone else)

Easy on the windows, there...

Besides that, at least you're creative, but I don't know what to say...

...

that habitat 67 or whatever looks like its from jet set radio future.

I like it in a way, but it's weird.

That dam is very unstable then! And symmetrical. And maybe some diferent colors could help.

Ermm.. it's not blocky that's for sure?

The colors are very ugly and I don't see where this building could fit into ANY park. I mean It was nicely built. But just to weird too look at and too many windows. And whats with the stairs as roofs leading to no where?
