Hello! I've been drawing buildings on the SSP-diagram for some months, and I have seen that quite many buildings in the S&B-region haven't got drawings, and many buildings are missing too as you can see here (http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?6028235), especially in Finland. So now, I will start drawing S&B-buildings that haven't got any drawings yet, or maybe if the drawing has got the wrong height. I've already made some Swedish buildings, but many in the region are still missing. My goal is to draw all buildings that are +50 m. Let's see if I'll make it! :) My first one is the Academy of Science in Riga:

Remember, I'm not a professinoal drawer, but I'll do my best! :cheers:

Hey great job, AtlanticaC5! Could you draw some stuff for Vilnius? ;)

If you want, I can try to find you good reference photos of Finnish high-rises. :)
Also, many of the currently existing drawings of Finnish high-rises at skyscraperpage.com are outdated, for example:

http://www.skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?b2679

Shoud look like

http://www.yit.fi/binary.asp?guid=5294568E-DFA6-4D6F-842A-D3FEC6F45E41&field=image

And it's correct height would be closer to 90-100 meters. Tower's new, official name is also "Cirrus".



http://www.skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?b2640

These are supposed to depict Itämerentori (it's not spelled Itämerentorni)? Gimme a break!


The real thing: http://www.vtt.fi/virtual/try/Terak/tr4-2000k3.jpg

And from the other direction:

http://img41.photobucket.com/albums/v125/oberleutnant/ruoholahti/ruoholahti2.jpg


Jonas' SysOpen Tower on the other hand looks very close to the real thing. ;)



So, if you need any reference photos, just tell me and I'll try to help any way I can! Good luck to you and your effort!


IMPORTANT TIP REGARDING HELSINKI HIGH-RISES:
Also search for buildings in Espoo - that's where many of Helsinki's high-rises are located, for example buidlings like Fortum, Kone Building, Meritorni, etc.

Wow, Atlantica! That's great! :okay:

A most meritorious undertaking, there are so many fine buildings in our region that should be known much better! :) I applaud you and wish you well in this endeavor. :angel1:

In the diagrams why aren't there any buildings from other cities in Finland? :( .. It should be updated somehow (I have no idea how :) )

April 23rd, 2004, 10:14 PM
Very good job AtlanticaC5!
Do you use Paint?

Yup, Paint is the only program I use for drawing, but I save the buildings as .gif in IrfanView :)

Hey great job, AtlanticaC5! Could you draw some stuff for Vilnius? ;)

Sure I can! ;)


So, if you need any reference photos, just tell me and I'll try to help any way I can! Good luck to you and your effort!

Thanx, I will tell you if I need anything! :)

Huh, seems I should say thanks for making Riga building! :)
(Why is it so small???)

Is it small? It's 108 pixels tall, and the scale in the diagrams is 1 pixel = 1 m. So don't expect any very big buildings! :D

Next building to get a drawing: Domus Vista, Copenhagen

My Academy of Science http://img51.photobucket.com/albums/v156/AtlanticaC5/Drawings/Academy_of_Science.bmp was deleted due to "incorrect roofheight". It's 108 pixels tall, isn't it 108 m? Or is it just the roof which is 108 m? Mine is 108 m with spire.

Academy of Science is 108 m with spire. In Soviet times there was a red star on spire, later it was removed. May be this is problem - the change of the height?

Excellent work with every building, Atlantica. Glad I could help you with Hotel Torni, the model looks great (the entrance is not on this side, so don't worry about it!).

If you intend to draw more high-rises in the Helsinki region, don't forget the city of Espoo: http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/?id=100590

Especially these two buildins, Meritorni and Reimarintorni, should be quite interesting: http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=110280 & http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=110273

Also, here's quite interesting building from the city of Jyväskylä:
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=100073

Again, if you need reference pics, you need but to ask. :)

Those buildings don't exist in Skyscraperpage diagram, only admins can add new buildings to the diagram. :(

btw. I made a short visit to Kivenlahti area today, maybe some photos later. :)

This thread rawks!

In fact, I feel it's something that need reconition, so it's going sticky!
Oh, and if you feel like pitching in and wanna learn how to make teh diagrams, just ask Atlantica (or go to the diagram forum at SSP (http://www.skyscraperpage.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=30)).

May 2nd, 2004, 01:55 PM

Here's my last one,Helsfyr Panorama, Oslo. It went out quite messy because I drew it in a bigger scale and then shrunk it down:

Hey AtlanticaC5! :)

Your drawings are awesome i must say! If you have the time and stuff can you draw currently the tallest building from Tampere, Finland? The one i'm talking about is Hotel Ilves (http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=262903). That was the best picture i could find at this time :).. And the stats are: 18 floors, 63m.

you have to post the building info in a special thread of addding new buildings but I'll take care of that :)

@AtlanticaC5
The building will be there as soon as some aditor will add it after I submit the info, so if you just could make the drawing it would be real nice :)

@John: Next drawing: The Gates of Vilnius :D

nice to hear that :)

btw, that's the most recent rendering, the design was a bit changed from the last renderings I posted, so I think it would be better to to use the following as a base, plus IMO it should be easier :)
it's 69m high and 19 floors
http://g.delfi.lt/images/pix/file4446694_nam.jpg

despite the design correction the situating of buildings didn't change, so you may exactly know how each building is situated and thus draw it correctly, thanks for your efforts and waiting to see the result :)

June 1st, 2004, 06:54 PM
Good one, Atlantica :okay:
few minor suggestions:
1. maybe it could be a few (5-6) pixels narrower
2. the lower part is exactly of the same width as the tower, in the rendering it is closer thus looking wider.

but anyway, well done :okay:

AtlanticaC5

John
June 3rd, 2004, 06:33 PM
Sure that's Klaipeda, Gatis was the first one to guess it :)
It's a project of Gandraliskes Residential Quarter, according to the developers it all will be complete until 2010 and the construction starts this summer. Looks very ambitious and I even would say not very realistic (klaipeda's population is only 190,000), but the developer is a group of some of the largest Lithuanian companies so they have all capabilities to realize it, we'll see how it goes :)
It's just a pity that it's not in Vilnius :D

How can you do this stuff so quickly? :)

Hmm, I wonder if I should give this thing a try. If no one is against the idea, I could try making Radisson SAS Tampere. I'll let you know soon enough if it proves too difficult for me.


OT: I really hope they'll use that landmark tower somewhere else if they don't choose Siitonen's master plan.

I'm still going to tweak it a little bit tomorrow (I'm off to bed soon). It's a pity that we don't have very good renders or pictures of the building's model.

http://www.sci.fi/~olvari/Etusivu.jpg (thanks grendy!)
For example, at first glance this rather undetailed render seems to suggest that the taller part has no windows at all!

Yet this drawing from Tampereen kauppakamari shows otherwise: http://www.tammistoknuutila.fi/kauppakamarilehti/Lehtiarkisto/2002/2-02/Kuvat/torni.jpg

Okay. :) I'm just wondering whether it's up to the quality standards at SSP. Also, does it matter, if I took few liberties with the drawing, since those two reference pictures show very little of the building - ie. there's no way knowing how the ground floor looks like or how the windows are arranged on the taller, 24 stories tall part.

Yeah, can't recall any better renderings either. And I have to say your drawing captures the one shown in all the renderings I've seen pretty well (since we've only seen one or two perspectives...;)).

@ober - I'd go with the first one, but that white bit in the corner needs to go (I have NO clue how that is done though). As for the parts you've deduced, if they haven't been shown in the renderings there's really no way to get it more accurate! :)

Sometimes you have to wait quite long, (one time I had to wait for more than a week :)) but sooner or later it will be there, usually within some days :) You have to be a member at the SSP diagram to upload drawings. When you are logged in and click on a building, it opens up in a new window, and you can see a small text in the upper left corner, which says "Upload a drawing". Click it, and then follow the description :)

Btw - do you think you could look for info about the taller buildings in Malmö (Lorensborg, Borgmästaregården etc) at stadsarkivet? The only info they've got now on Emporis is number of floors. But just if you want to :D

It is now confirmed. I have talked to stadsarkivet at Malmö´s city hall and they had information on some Malmö buildings. Hilton is just 69m tall and Kronprinsen 81,8m. Jägersrotornet is 110m.
I also want to add that Quality Hotel Konserthuset is 44m. I have seen Disco´s drawings, it is hard to believe he is a beginner. My drawing of Kockumshuset was really a beginners drawing.

Nice drawing of Ariadne Hotel, Atlantica C5. I have thought about this building need to be added.

I'm not realy a beginner. I've painted all the buildings from "jens"... My profile just didn't work anymore so i had to register again with a new name. Hmm... http://www.skyscraperpage.com/ doesn't seem to work? Anyone having the same problem?
