loved it!!!! Was it done on Sketchup? Its so incredibly detailed and complex!!!


the only thing i didnt like was the texture used on the floor. Its too small and the tiles are apparent.

Almost looks like an alternative design for the Central Complex of the Umbrella Corporation in Racoon City from the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

Thankyou!

The Desgin

If someof you don't know already, the Gattaca complex (as the film of the same name explores) is a medical research centre into Eugenics. Totally fictional.

The towers have a double helix structure around both, this is to symbolically represent the helix's in DNA. and the circular structure as unraveled segments of a DNA chain.

The underground station entrance, is massively inspired by the WTC hub in NYC, and I needed an impressive focal point.

I'll get some more updated renders soon.

liked the renderings.. the design.. ehhh. i love calatrava for trying to recreate at a larger scale and with his knowledge of engineering what nature has already created. I think its just too identical for what he does and you should put a liltle bit more of what you are all about..
