Make your Livestream Model suggestions!

Ambitious… I floated it past guest presenter and they said “maybe not for my first livestream” :stuck_out_tongue:

In celebration of Lou Kahn’s 120th birthday, I was going to suggest one of his buildings. First thing that came to mind was his unbuilt synagogue in Jerusalem, but, to be fair, it’s been done by a number of people.

Even in 3D Warehouse (by galina27)

Any number of his buildings would be great subjects.

The Montreal’s Olympic stadium.

Saint Basil Basilica in Moscow.

The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

I wrote a book years ago, and they used a picture of those on the cover.

One of my candidates for “the most beautiful architectural plan, ever” is Kahn’s unbuilt monastery design:

The Temppeliaukio church in Helsinki, Finland (Timo & Tuomo Suomalainen, 1968):

Some informations here:

Read the abovementionned reference to have an idea of its size.

To give an element of comparison, the Ville-Marie Place skyscraper in Montreal with its 45 stories can easily fit inside the central arch. I have been there and, believe me, it is HUGE.

The London Eye.

Continuing on this idea, why not some attraction parks rides, like roller coasters or other types…

That’s fun! Do you know if it was ever built (full scale that is, assuming this is an architectural model. :wink: )

That looks to me as a Modernist version of Howl’s Moving Castle

Those are images of a model. I don’t know if it was ever built, though.

Well it get’s my vote for Livestream Modeling. Thanks!

Found it. I think they are all utopias. I think I had seen some drawings at the time, but not the model images. It seems that mr. Sorkin passed away last year.
