:D well, with all these buildings going up in L.A. I thought it'd be cool if we could see some possible renderings of what our city will look like in a few years. Even fantasy renderings would be cool. I know I'm notorious now for being a little "sensitive" regarding some of the ones I've done, but I'm over that! :| I'll start by posting a few of the ones I've done...I encourage all of you to give some feedback...what do you think? what can change? what should be added or subtracted? things like that.

You should also add Park Fifth. It's 65 stories and will go right next to the Gas Company Tower.

Here is a photoshop rendering of the LA and NYC skylines merged together posted in the Urban PhotoShop Contest forum by Qazaq. Imagine if we had a skyline like that, LA would be one heck of a city!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/cityq/Urban/LANYC10x1.jpg

OMG! I think LA will eventually look like this, but take the Empire State bldg out of the picture...

Our skyline will definitely be of that length but probably will not have that density.

looks like blade runner


maybe ax out the empire state so the LT can be back on top

That looks really nasty. Notice the dark clouds looming over and no sunshine.
We can and will have a denser skyline, but it'll never look like Manhattan, nor would I want it to. I'd rather our skyline look more Chicago-like than NY-like, where each building can be appreciated instead of one monolithic mass of structures.

L.A will soon look like that but why more interesting:)

Wow if LA had a skyline like that it would instantly become a world class city cus right now its just average city ya know:nuts:

NO. It's a world class city already and BY NO MEANS average.

what if L.A look something like this:banana:

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g280/Joey313_photos/NYCL.jpg

perfecto. But I would add a center point to the skyline, maybe a large park, or a taller building.

A few years back it really did snow on the top floors of the USBT (then the First Interstate World Center). A few office workers were eyewitness to it and reported it to the Downtown News.

Actually, just to make it easy, why don't someone post a pic of the Pershing Square Ice Skating Rink?

nice... i've been looking on the internet for that particular l.a. scene as a screenshot, but no luck... hate the antenna modifications on all our beautiful towers though

When does this supposedly take place? I laugh at the USBank, AON and City National Bank logos on the buildings because 10 years ago, those logos weren't even on those buildings! Who's to say they'll still be on 10 years from now? :)

I wish they would ban naming right on top of buildings instead of spires.

The US Bank looked 100% better before that sign came along. But it helps on some buildings so they wont seem so dull.

I don't mind the US bank sign, but maybe that is because I've never seen the building without the sign. The Island was set around 2019 a mere 12 years from now. It was a good movie 3 out of 5 stars but bombed at the box office.

Not bad.

Good job. Though the skyline will be a little bit taller than that.

woooh... aperently i missed somthing important. what is that huge blue building?
or are these just in the mind of from los angeles

The large blue building is the Ritz-Carlton/Marriott Marquis @ LA Live.

Can't wait to see Figueroa like that! :cheers:

The large blue building is the Ritz-Carlton/Marriott Marquis @ LA Live.
drr... sorry forgot about that one.

Wow, downtown will look MUCH denser with these new buildings. The Ritz makes a huge difference.

What about City House/The Olympic?

The City House/Olympic aren't there because you won't be able to view them from such an angle.

Also the South Group project, and Grand Avenue are not there for obvious reasons.

updates?

any renders of century city?

Here's a little somethin' I whipped up in my spare time. This is what the Los Angeles skyline will look like once Park Fifth, LA Live, Concerto (tower one), Hanover (wasn't topped off in the original photo), and LA Central are completed. The heights are a bit off, but the overall impact on the skyline is more or less the same.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h125/MBenzLover/LosAngelesFutureSkyline.jpg

nice

We have a nicely proportioned skyline :)

wow, cool!

I know it is rude to ask, but could you add the Grand avenue towers since they seem to be a likely go project that will alter the skyline?

Pleeeeeese?

Now the big question is, where are we going to put our megatower that will compete with SF's new megatower?

^I don't think we have one of the works yet...

^I don't think we have one of the works yet...


I guess you didn't read his comment correctly. He never said there was one at all. He'd ask where would we put one to compete, when we have it!!!!

Interesting question. Where to put one of those. Center of downtown? Mid-city on Wilshire? Century City? Pacoima?:banana:

Really tho, it is kinda fun to think about where it would make SENSE to put a megatower.

When you think about how this came to be in SF, they needed a new bus terminal and this set of giant towers is part of that.

It seems like L.A. maybe blew it with the wimpy towers around Union Station. Talk about Transit hub, right? How is it that it makes sense to put so much density at Lankershim, Cahuenga, HoHi, HoVi, etc and such a bland development at Union Station?

SO, where DOES it make sense in L.A?

Do they even have the space for it unless there going to replace smaller towers or the condo-complexes which I doubt will happen.

Since I don't know how to make renderings, I will just describe what LA could look like in say 100 years. Most of this is probably just wishfull thinking.

I think LA could look like a Chinese city, except with the culture of LA. The whole city, from Hollywood to Long beach and all around, would be full of thousands if not millions of skyscrapers. The downtown would have huge 100+ story skyscrapers. Depending on what happens with global warming, the city will either be extreemely smoggy or extreemely clean.

Of course, that vision for LA might take more like 500 years, but it would be awsome to see the city look like that.

I think that can happen in less time. Technology is not like before things move faster these days.

Not in present day Los Angeles!:cheers:

Does anyone HAVE renderings or can anyone MAKE renderings of what CC will look like? Also, do you think Long Beach and Wilshire Blvd will change much? Where else do you think may be getting a skyline?

Yeah im interested in seeing the future Century City as well.

LASF has me intrigued....

The DT skyline looks much better from the east (10 freeway heading west). The skyline from the 101 hollywood coming in from universal city has many gaps because some buildings are lined up exactly in front of one another, so some are unrepresented. The view from the South is pretty nice. If you're on the 105, by compton, there is a great view....DT LA has the most deceptive skyline I've ever seen. Our skyline, for the most part runs north south. But our crazy freeway system gives us so many different angles we wonder if we're looking at the same thing.

k...they should all be roughly the right height (given this perspective). Park Fifth won't really be seen from this view point, but I moved it to the side a little - should be pretty close to the right height (850')...also changed the rendering a little (trying to make it look a little more "real" - well..as much as 15 minutes will allow (have too many other renderings to do for school))

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b43/samceb/downtownwithsomeproprosals.jpg

Dang, that's nice. If we could just fill in the area between 777 and LA Live, that would be an amazing shot. They skyline would be really long then.

throw in metropolis when you have time archi! that would be 4 more towers between TCW and La Live

throw in metropolis when you have time archi! that would be 4 more towers between TCW and La Live

k...what are the latest heights? they've changed a lot from the frist proposals (20 yrs ago?) what else should be in there? if u guys can just list a project and it's height...that'll help a lot (timewise)

^ I wouldn't add in Metropolis yet. We don't know any specific information other than its vague profile of four towers.

^ yeap... that project has been dragged for the longest. If I'm not mistaken it's been like over 20 years in the drawing board.

What about that new proposed all office building? I forgot the name.

oh yeah...how tall is it?

I believe it was around 800 ft. near 777 (the building)

755 Fig. I think its more 755ft height wise...its definitely a 700 footer minimum.

oh yeah...how tall is it?

Not sure exactly how tall, but I found the article and it says 50 stories and looks to be taller than 777. It is west of it, or right in that pic.

Post 1487 http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=147965&page=75

The proposed 755 Figueroa tower is 50 stories tall, two floors shorter than the 777 tower. But because it's to stand on a parking structure, it'll be a tad bit taller than the 777 tower.

Honestly, I don't see that one breaking ground anytime soon.

Archi, can you do daytime renders?

I don't either, but I was just trying to think of buildings proposed on the west side of downtown so he could add those in to that picture and bring more density to that side of the rendering. I can't wait till that gap is filled.

To answer the question of what to do with the county buildingshttp://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee192/trolltoast/HPIM1199.jpg
This covers the parcel, or lot, bordered by Grand, Tom Bradley,Temple and Hill. Two towers along Hill, at the corners of Bradley and Temple, leveled grass bordered by trees and accessable from all directions by a grand stairway on Hill and elevators within both towers. Stairs and ramps on Bradley and Temple. Height: 40 stories. Centrally located fountain between towers with 150 foot diameter reflecting pool frozen over in December for ice skating. 130 foot lighted tree for Holiday year end. Underground parking for county employees between towers. Both towers contain cheap eats (maybe a restaurant?) at ground level and employee access to 3rd level pavilions for eating. Park benches under trees throughout. Otherwise, level grass. Price: 520 million. Date: December, 2012 :)

I don't really like how it seems to cover up City Hall. It makes the building seem way too small surrounded by two giants.

That I can understand. The displaced county employees will need space relative to what they will loose when their original offices are removed. They will need towers about this size, and the 'framing' of City Hall from this vantage point near Grand Avenue is something that you'd have to get used to. On the other hand, City Hall is in the distance and the towers are taller only by 8 stories or so...

i think it looks great (just my opinion though) and i thinks it's way better than what we have there now. it looks like this would also add park space to that particular lot/block

No thanks.

Why not? Aren't we all on the same page here trying to get rid of those county buildings? Yeah we might loose City Hall from some perspectives but great cities often loose views of loved icons because of structures built for a certain purpose. We can't let those "nimbystic" thoughts linger in our heads.

^ The County buildings need to go not only because they're eyesores, but also because they do a great job at impeding pedestrian flow and accessibility of the park. It's ironic how you cry for more green space Downtown, yet at the same time, seem to accord with this 'proposal' -- it's pure fantasy.

you know i've always had a fantasy of leveling all the buildings in that area, city hall, the county offices, law library, and the expansion of city hall across the street. raise the ground that they are on, put olive, grand, spring, and hill under ground, and building a massive tower to over look the new uniterrubted park. Since the city was founded in 1781, have a 1,781' tower housing all the city and county offices in it. this will please all the old people that remember city hall as being the tallest building in la, bringing back a little history. get rid of the crappy county buildings taking space from our "central park" and provinding an uniterupted walk from the Music Center to City Hall.
hows that to inflate Villaragosa's ego:)

^^ haha, not too great of an idea.

if all the county offices were in the same building and something were to happen to it, we would be left ungoverned.

That looks South American

that was what i was thinking:lol:

This makes one think that you didn't think through that very thoroughly.
