Inside manmade giants.

Recently I've been working on the Moodboard for the project and realised I'm leaning towards a lot of cityscape and skyscraper photos, so I thought it be wise to actually talk about them on here, and point out where my influence is coming from.

I'm sure when most people hear the word 'Skyscraper', they instantly imagine their boring run of the mill, oversized grey blocks, that just seem to cast their respective cities in shadow, to me they mean much more. Skyscrapers for me feel more like architectural design statements, on a much bigger scale. Forgetting about New York, and London and thinking about places such as Singapore or Dubai (Which for me represent the skyscraper capital of the world), where buildings raise far abover the surface of the earth in a wonderful fashion. Modern skyscrapers, and leaked concepts for future projects found in both of these places could easily pass for Sci-Fi models now.

The Burj Khalifa - Currently the tallest building in the world.

The Burj Al Arab - Another famous skyscraper found in Dubai.

Singapore - A view of Singapore and it's glorious skyscraper collection.

Above are just a few of my current favourite skyscrapers (Many more to come with the moodboard). These will be looked over countless times during the production phase of my project in attempt to create an authentic/ beautiful bit of architecture for my level.
