Novland

Whoa! Nice Castle and the area around it!

Thanks Nate!

Here are some pictures of Rajavick and some of the countryside.

Just beautiful.

Lovely, I'm currious what your thought process is on the HSBC building. It looks out of place but if you were going for a certain effect it does pull it off... so just outta curriosity what were you thinking when you placed the buildings like that?

I placed it there to make it seem it replaced the original 17th century buildings but keeping there facade. So in reality all the buildings on that block are all the same building, and the inside is a completely modern office building.

That's what I figured you were doing with that shot. Cool, looks great.

Not to argue, but I'm a architecture major, the HSBC building facade has no relation to any of the 17th century buildings facade and appears to be out of place. If thats the effect you wanted then you have achieved it.

On your CJ, it appears you're more talented in rural areas than urban areas. Its nice to see rural areas for a change.

I totally disagree with your comment, Basically all European cities have that type of contrast within Urban City centres, like London, Paris, Berlin, for Example This is the Swiss Re HQ (or the Gherkin) in London, and the street infront is Bishopsgate, one of the main roads leading through London's financial area, you see?
More Examples
Just my opinion from a European POV

It seems you're more talented at Wikipedia than giving constructive criticism. It's nice to see our involvement in Wikipedia.

Yes I know there is a contrast in european cities most notably in Paris with the Pompidou Centre. I 100% agree with you but this is not my argument, this is my argument,

"I placed it there to make it seem it replaced the original 17th century buildings but keeping there facade. So in reality all the buildings on that block are all the same building, and the inside is a completely modern office building." -CornieMaxie

He states he placed the HSBC building to replace a 17th century building that was on the orginal site, and the HSBC building kept the 17th century building facade (style).

I'm disagreeing with this since the HSBC building has no relation with a 17th century building facade. The building in question is from HSBC Hong Kong, it was not designed to match a 17th century style facade.

Before you question me on misreading the quote, the second sentence says it all, he wants a continunity of the 17th century facade alongside the block and not an interuption of a building that stands out like the Pompidou Centre does.

Thanks.


Drfj -

Your comment is so far off base of whats being discussed here so I'm guessing you're still finding opportunies to personal attack me, so you have been reported to Slacker.

Thanks.

Its not supposed to match, that's what makes it look interesting.

Your orginal comment made it sound like that. But if you intended it to be a building that stands out, you achieved it. I think it looks fine nothing negative, I wasn't critiquing the picture, but rather the comment you made about it. I just wanted to show you the HSBC building does not have a 17th century facade as what you seemed to comment on.

Thanks.

well actually kumba if you look at the Lower section the Facade of the 17th Century Building continues and the HSBC building is set comming up and outta the roof he overlaped the buildings so in a way he did continue the Facade and look from the street level.


max I'm liking the look of the city centre and the addition of rural Novland is a nice bonus

We could have a whole discussion on this topic but the creator revised his orginal statement to reflect what he actually meant so I'll respect that and let the discussion die since I don't want to clutter his CJ You're welcome to PM me if you want to continue the discussion.
