About This File

The Portland

Building was designed by Michael Graves to house City of Portland

agencies and bureaus. It also boasts Portlandia, the second largest

hammered copper statue in the United States (second only to the Statue

of Liberty). As the first major U.S. post-modernist structure, it is

regarded by some to be THE symbol of the rise of the post-modernist

school of architecture worldwide.


This unique

building elicits a full range of emotions from admirers, detractors,

and those neutral toward it. Regardless of how one feels about

Post-Modernism, the Portland Building will be sure to stand out in your

city!


Versions and Specifics:


I have included

2 model files for your use: One which includes the flagpoles and flags

of the US, Oregon, and Portland, and a non-flagged version for those

wishing not to display flags. All lot variations have been included for

both models:


Bureau of Bureaucracy (standard BoB stats)


CO$$ Growable (Stage 7) and CO$$ Ploppable both with 1817 jobs.


Landmark


All lots are 4x4 SC4 tiles, and look best when surrounded by roadways.


Installation:


Unzip to

your  c://...mydocuments/simcity4/plugins folder.  There will

be two folders, "flags" and "no flags". Select the version you wish to

use by discarding or moving the undesired folder out of the plugins

folder. Inside the folder, select the version you wish to use and

discard or move the undesired lot versions out of the plugins folder.

Start SimCity 4 and enjoy!


NOTE: All

versions will appear in the landmarks menu except the Bureau of

Bureaucracy (BoB) and growables. The BoB may be found in your rewards

menu, and should be available even if the standard BoB isn't.

It looks like streamline art deco to me, very VERY nice. It'll go perfect in my Miami/South Beach project.

I'm a 3rd-generation Oregonian and lifelong Portlander, and I love the Portland building and Portlandia :-) Call me crazy. It's been there as far back as I remember (I was little when it was built) so it just feels like part of the city.

Your rendering is perfect!
