About This File

Designed by the late Frank Gehry and completed in 2001, the Gehry Tower (or, as I prefer to call it, the Gehryturm) is a small tower located in Hanover, Germany.

I loved Frank Gehry when I was a kid, so when he passed in December, I thought it would be fun to do a tribute BAT. Unfortunately, this is Frank Gehry we're talking about here and not Gordon Bunshaft, so choosing a feasible building wasn't easy. 

This building sits on a 2x1 lot and comes in growable and ploppable CS$$$ varieties. It's kind of a W2W, but the twist means that the top hangs over the lot boundaries by a few meters, so you'll probably want to place it next to a shorter building to avoid clipping.

Both Darknite and Maxisnite versions are provided. Only one may be used at a time. The Darknite version requires SimFox's Day and Nite Modd.

Dependencies

BSC Common Dependencies Pack (specifically BSC MEGA Props - CP Vol01, and BSC MEGA Props - CP Vol02)

Enjoy!

The metallic materials are executed so well. It seems there are many layers to them, and due to each quality expressing just the right amount of itself, it creates a synergy and allows every quality to blend together perfectly. It leaves me saying, "This is beautiful and also correct," without really knowing how. The blue only makes me feel this more strongly, and it's also large enough to satisfy the eyes, but small enough to keep you wanting more. Phenomenal work! 10/10

A Simpsons gag about Gehry projects has him crumpling up a sheet of paper and using it as the basis of his design. While one of the most important architects of his generation, his work is rather complex, abstract, dramatic and finished in gleaming materials. It is not easy to model. 

IDS2 has done a faithful recreation of one of the more restrained Gehry projects. The textures are superb, with a metallic quality. The modeling is faithful - some players may want to re-lot as a 2x2 given the flaring lines of the model and risk of "bleeding" in W2W environments. The modding is appropriate.

A unique work and a fitting homage to one of the world's late, great architects. 5/5.
