mapping the city (again)

***gothicform*** · June 1st, 2006, 07:09 PM

well here's the first image, a perspective free cross section of the city and its eastern fringe from the east, chosen because this view is almost complete.
this image has a margin of error of 2 meters, 1 pixel either way depending on whether the render engine averaged up or down for each ray or was spot on.

This is absolutely brilliant... although the dark grey block next to Heron is unknown to me (80-88). Is that the design, or simply a block expressing what could go there?

This view has got to be one of the most powerful. And on top of all that, canary wharf gets to see that view, and what its major competitor can do in retaliation!!!

***Medo*** · June 1st, 2006, 07:20 PM

That looks great, so much density

When do you think you will complete the other views gothic?

Skid-Mark · June 1st, 2006, 07:21 PM

Yes that is good, is that minerva blocking swiss re? would be interested to see what this would look like without it as it seems unlikely to go ahead now. Great work.

***gothicform*** · June 1st, 2006, 07:24 PM

no idea medo. im doing about 2 blocks a day... maybe by the end of june. i basically need to work west from fenchurch street, broadgate and so on.

Good job. Looks great.

***SE9*** · June 1st, 2006, 09:18 PM

Fantastic job

Does anyone know the viewpoint/angle which best heightens the density of this cluster?
(ie: viewing from the east etc)

***b4mmy*** · June 2nd, 2006, 12:07 AM

Nice one James. Glad to see this one back.

Luke · June 2nd, 2006, 11:09 PM

Gothic, I don't recall you voicing your opinion on 20 Fenchurch street? Are you in favour of its design and location?

I'm a big fan and I think your image shows how it really adds an interesting dimension to the skyline.

Jack Rabbit Slim · June 2nd, 2006, 11:28 PM

Great pic there Gothic, although the same image with a refence to each building would be even better...is that too much to ask??

***gothicform*** · June 4th, 2006, 08:24 PM

heres labels for some stuff, not to scale. i was sceptical of fenchurch street myself but i thnk it works too, it just looks a bit lonely though im sure the gap between it and bishopsgate will be filled.

jef · June 4th, 2006, 09:07 PM

When is 100 Middlesex street about to start?

***gothicform*** · June 6th, 2006, 05:27 PM

its gonna be largely student accomodation so they wont hang around for long. im sure we'll see work on site in the next 12 months

DarJoLe · June 6th, 2006, 05:48 PM

What's the one between 100 Middlesex Street and the Broadgate Tower?

***woodhousen*** · June 6th, 2006, 05:49 PM

If only Willis had been 200ft taller........

oh well, can't complain, things are brilliant as they are

***gothicform*** · June 6th, 2006, 10:46 PM

well done will, citypoint! you win a prize. remember this is a perspective free images so objects closest to the camera are not larger than those further away. ill do a perspective one from the same angle when i get home on friday to give you guys a better idea.

rickster2k · June 6th, 2006, 11:52 PM

Broadgate really is out on its own there, quite a distance from the cluster and pretty bulky.

Great stuff James!
