In dit tijdperk van Aziatisch geweld in hun rush naar de allergrootste én hun immense bouwwerken in steden als Dubai , Szenzhen , Shanghai én Peking doet deze volgende stad haast in stilte de gebouwen als paddestoelen uit de grond rijzen aan een ongekend tempo.

Laat me je enorme lijst met een plot map eens tonen , zeer indrukwekkend werk van Tom-in-Chicago.
Enkel de namen/hoogte in feet/jaartal van de gebouwen staat vermeldt op deze kaart , moest je willen weten hoe ze eruit zien stuur een berichtje én ik post ze.

Geniet ervan ;)

Special thanks goes out to Marshall, Skyscraper Dan, Steely Dan, Victor, Shawn and all of the other Chicago cats that made it possible for me to take a two year vacation from the rigors inherent in keeping up with construction stats here in this great city of Chicago. . .

Knap gedaan.

Ietsje te 'simcity' misschien...?

Onvoorstelbaar! Wat een gigantische skyline moet chicago hebben.

Ik zie twee torens van 2000 voet geplant staan. Volgens Google is dat 609,6 meter. Chicago word op hoogbouwgebied als het ware belangrijker dan New York!

Duizelingwekkend aantal nieuwe projecten. :runaway:
Wij mogen al blij zijn als er hier en daar enkele torentjes van 80 à 100 meter bijkomen.
In steden als Chicago is dat schering en inslag.
Nu, ik moet zeggen, bij momenten overdrijven ze ginder ook wel hoor.
Ik ben ook niet echt een voorstander van de loodrechte statenplannen en de in hokjes geduwde wolkenkrabbers.

Nu heeft er iemand dit gemaakt :

I used to design scenery back when I played FS2004, which was before my HDD crashed and took all my customized settings and aircraft with it. One of my incomplete projects was the buildings in the West Loop. After painstakingly importing them from GMax (damn the person who made that crippled POS) into, eventually, 3DMax I more or less got this. As you can see 333 W Wacker was screwed up, as was 311 South until I fixed it. The others were more easily fixed. CNA also needs to be finished up, but that isn't a conversion issue.

I've been ignoring the northside for a while, even the JHC texture was a quick job, but no longer. I've redone all the major towers and added the Claire and the Elyisan (sp?). I've also thrown in some aerials too, since I know those are amoung the most popular.

From the JHC 94th. The shadows have a nice effect, but unfortunately, the deck isn't open at 8AM.

Een forumer op SSP heeft een reeks 3D-tekeningen gemaakt over Chicago en deze zijn toch echte toppers.Jammergenoeg heeft hij zijn talent stopgezet (reden onbekend)

Mijn vinger doet pijn van het scrollen, maar het is inderdaad prachtig. Hoe heet die hoogste toren naast de Sears ook weer?
Als je zo een paar meter onder straatniveau vaart lijkt alles NOG hoger :D

Maar Sears en dan die toren dernaast?

Is dat dan 'architectuur?'. Ik vind er persoonlijk niks aan. Het geheel natuurlijk wel, overweldigend zelfs..

:shocked:

Schitterende serie. Zo'n boottochtje is wel een aanrader als je daar bent! :)

Wel grappig: rijtjeshuizen tussen de wolkenkrabbers op foto 10 en 11 :)

Geweldig indrukwekkende serie!! :cheers2:
Volgend jaar hoop ik dit boottochtje ook te gaan maken.

Die classic scrapers zijn fantastisch mooi!

Bijzondere kijk op de metropool aan het meer:

http://chicagouncommon.com

Een goede vriend van me die in Chicago woont heeft ook een mooie reeks foto's over zijn stad gemaakt:

Growing Chicago by Philip Malenfant (http://www.growingchicago.com/)

Practige fotos.

Nooit geweten trouwens dat de rivier doorheen de stad ook 'Chicago' heet.

Mooie fotoreeks. :cheers:

De tweede hoogste van Chicago is het Hancock center. Beiden (Sears en Hancock zijn ontworpen door Fazlur Kahn.)

Je kan zeggen van de Sears wat je wil. Hij overtreft vele wolkenkrabbers van vandaag (en dan heb ik het niet op hoogte.)

http://www.fazlurrkhan.com/sears.868x542.jpg

http://www.fazlurrkhan.com/hancock.709x512.jpg

Die Fazlur Kahn is vrij bekend van zijn "tube"-design heb ik ooit eens ergens gelezen...

He is regarded as the "Einstein of structural engineering" and considered "the greatest architectural engineer of the second half of the 20th century" for his constructions of the Sears Tower and John Hancock Center, and for his designs of structural systems that remain fundamental to all high-rise skyscrapers.

Die laatste vier zijn knappe dingen!
Zoiets mogen ze er bij ons ook wel bij zetten!:cheers:

Is dat een kanaal of een rivier en hoe breed is dat?

Sorry hoor, maar ik vind die torens in Chicago maar flauwkes...

Ah, ik herinnerde mij die thread nog vaag,...

Hoort inderdaad hier thuis.
In ieder geval indrukwekkend wat daar op stapel staat. Een 300+, een 400+ en een 600+ in aanbouw! :nuts:

Maar ik begrijp nu wel uit diagrams dat die Chicago spire eigenlijk 400m is + spire.

...:tiasd:

The Trump Organisation plande een tiental jaar geleden in Brussel ook een Hotel and Tower. (Trump zag een enorm groeiende markt voor de nieuwe Europese lidsteden). Dit project werd echter op de lange baan geschoven en nu zijn de plannen helemaal afgeblazen. Ikzelf ben van mening dat het maar een geluk is dat de plannen zijn afgeblazen. Het hotel zou teveel concurrentie geweest zijn voor onze Brusselse hotels.

Onze Brusselse hotels? Een groot deel zijn toch internationale ketens?

Onze Brusselse hotels? Een groot deel zijn toch internationale ketens?

Alle grote hotels in Brussel behoren tot een internationale keten. Alleen de kleintjes niet, en ik denk niet dat die concurentie gaan hebben van zo'n groot luxehotel.

^^ Dus jammer dat het project rond de Trumptoren afgelast is.

Deze soort foto's doet me genieten:

Chicago is pure klasse. Als je alle andere skyscrapercities doorloopt via de threads, dan springt deze stad er toch echt uit. Trump tower en spire zijn prachtige projecten, ook juist door de relatie met de omgeving.

(en hebben jullie eens gekeken naar de indrukwekkend kleine bouwput van de spire??) http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=434232&page=268

mss wel een kleine bouwput, maar de baterijen voor die vibrator moeten toch wel gigantisch zijn ^^

:colgate: Ik ben er ooit geweest, in 2000, en zelfs simpelweg de Hancock en Sears waren al leuk om 'te doen'. En ook leuk: véél international style gebouwen uit de jaren '50, '60 en '70, wat een meer organisch gegroeid geheel (?? heheh) geeft dan pakweg Dubai, in een stad die iets nieuwer is dan NYC. Het zijn overigens niet noodzakelijk de hoogste die de mooiste zijn in Chicago.

Knappe foto's... Ik zou ooit wel eens naar de VS willen gaan, zeker New York staat bij mij met stip genoteerd...

Ik zou ook graag eens naar Noord-Amerika trekken, een aantal steden gaan zien... maar Chicago staat toch niet in mijn 'top 5'. Het mag dan wel een van de allerbekendste steden van de VS (en bij uitbreiding zelfs de wereld) zijn, maar om een of andere reden heb ik altijd de indruk gehad dat het een vrij kille, onaangename stad moet zijn om door te wandelen.

Oa. het feit dat de metro er voor het grootste deel bovengronds op aftandse ijzeren constructies van een eeuw oud rijdt, met veel lawaai als gevolg, lijkt mij een onaangenaam element. Het lijkt mij ook voor het grootste deel een groot koud trekgat. :dunno:

Maar ik ben wel ontzettend nieuwsgierig naar hoe de Trump en vooral de Spire de skyline gaan veranderen...

Chicago heeft volgens mij nogal een reputatie van betonnen mega-maffianest. (En nee, ik bevestig geen cliché, ik zeg alleen maar dat dit clicé een hardnekkig indianenverhaal is).
Deze foto's tonen mij een boeiende, spectaculaire hoogbouwstad.
Ik laat het in het midden. Het is niet mijn bedoeling een rel te stichten, dat ben ik namelijk kotsbeu.

Dit is een discussiefrorum X-38.
Een discussie is geen rel, ook al gaat het er in het heetst van de strijd soms wat hard aan toe. ;)

Maar zo te zien ben je best wel goed gewapend tegen relschoppers... :lol:

Goed gezien Benonie! De mensen zijn gewaarschuwd:lol:.

Gisteren gaan kijken naar The Dark Knight, de nieuwste Batmanfilm. Naast de acteerprestatie van Heath Ledger was ik ook bijzonder onder de indruk van de rol die Chicago hier speelt als decor. Het was wel opvallend hoe men er alles aan deed om maar niet de Sears of John Hancock in beeld te laten komen, om de stad toch nog een beetje anonimiteit te geven (want Batman speelt zich uiteraard af in de fictieve stad Gotham City). Hoe het ook zij, de stad ziet er werkelijk schitterend uit in die film.

In de film: altijd. Tenzij de regisseur ander wilt...

Beetje nieuws over de Chicago Spire:

waar nu dat ferm gat in de grond is... :

...wordt dit dan de basis van de afgewerkte toren:

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/9318/csversionfmassive4bt7.jpg

wow:drool:

Hebben de mosterd in Malmö gehaald, zo te zien.

't is iets correcter om te zeggen dat ze beiden hun mosterd haalden in Valencia. ;) Of misschien nog correcter gezegd Zürich als ik op het Calatrava topic mag afgaan.

Ik vind het trouwens een fantastische toren die er wel niet helemaal op zijn plaats staat. Hij staat echt compleet los van de rest van Chicago.

Eventjes de skyline van de stad vergelijken , 2003 is het eerste beeld, 2008 is het tweede:

I am always masmerized by those then and now pictures. In a city as built and as famous for its skyscrapers as Chicago, it's hard to imagine a single new building or even several buildings can change its skyline dramatically.

But the skyline indeed changed, a lot, in the past few years.

I should have waited until Trump Tower is done (or even, after the Spire is doen) to post a thread like this. But I can't wait to show you some of the changes of this amazing city for the past five years or so.

Most of these pictures were taken from John Hancock and Montrose as well as Belmont Harbor.

The most dramatic change, of course, is the rise of the Trump Tower; Also notice the upper left corner with new tall residential buildings in the streeterville (including Aqua and the vertical expansion of the Blue Cross-Blue Shield Tower). Also, in the loop, the Heritage (2005) was still U/C in the 2003 picture.

Did you notice how empty the south loop was in the 2003 picture? Now OMP and several other buildings have filled that area.


The explosion of developments of the Streeterville. Notice the whole area along the river is filled up now. Also, the Streeter (2007) near the bottom left blocked part of the view.

Here is the loop and river north. Notice that Hyatt center (2005; Near Sears Tower), the U/C building (2009, 353 North Clark) and River North Marriott Suites (2008; in front of 353 North Clark). And how can we ignore the on hold project of the Waterview right beside the United HQ.

The emergence of 300 North Lasalle (2009). Also notice 55 East Erie, still U/C in 2003 picture.

Say something if you are interested and want to see more. hehe..

Near the bottom of the picture by the Bloomingdale building (900 N Michigan) is 30 West Oak (2007) and The Elysian (U/C 2008). Is it already behind schedule?

Ik ben er in 2000 geweest, ook toen was het al de moeite. Vooral de Hancock was impressionant... Maar misschien had dat met de film Ferris Bueller's Day Off te maken ;)

de financiele crisis begint zich goed te merken op de skyscrapers in Chicago bij de Waterviewtoren is de constructie stilgelegd ook ziet het er heel slecht uit voor de Chicago Spire men spreekt al van een kleinere versie

Panorama vanuit John Hancock Centre is zalig. Dit toren achter het concertpodium in het park is heel mooi. Ken wel de naam niet.

Het is naar mijn mening een ontzettend lelijk ding dat absoluut niet op zijn plaats staat in Chicago.

Die laatste foto is een hele mooie!

Chicago heeft een geweldige skyline.

amai knap !!

achtergronden voor sim city ofzo :)

^^ Decor voor de recentste Batmanfilms vooral. Die hebben mijn beeld over Chicago behoorlijk bijgesteld trouwens. Vroeger leek het mij niet veel soeps, maar met een cinemabezoek deze zomer... kan ik gelijk niet wachten om het eens in't echt te gaan zien.
