Fictional Modern/Futuristic Gothic Skyscrapers

[Ocram's Razr 963]

I love the look and feel of the Shape and style of Gothic, Gothic Revival, and Neogothic. Most of the skyscrapers influenced by the gothic style were shaped like regular skyscrapers with gothic designs. I like the gothic designs and the gothic shape so I have drawn buildings with gothic style with 20th century building shapes (like the Woolworth building) and I have drawn buildings with a modern style but a stylized and eccentuated gothic shape (like the one below).

I have drawn Modern/Futuristic Gothic Skyscrapers since 2006. I have gone through several designs from Neo-Gothic and Gothic-Revival skyscrapers to streamlined Skyscrapers with flying butresses.

Here is my latest design. It has a trapazoidal roof (pyramid without a top) with a bronze bottom half and a gold top half. The glass facade is tinted torquoise with a blue tint for the top floor (mistake in the top picture) and partially submerged floor. The buttresses are a light cement color and the flying buttresses are a dark concrete color, both of with are strengthened reinforced concrete.

Made using Microsoft Paint (XP version, not Windows 7 version).

I have some of my earlier versions uploaded on my Image Shack account.

Please discuss the Gothic shapes and styles of skyscrapers in this thread. Everything from Cathedrals to the Woolworth Building to New Crobuzon to Gotham to my designs and anything similar is welcomed.

Thank you!

OR

Yes, Seattle is a wonderful place to live.

I based this building extremely roughly on Westlake Center. In one design, the lower flying buttresses supported monorail.

EDIT: Here are some examples of Gothic architecture.

Woolworth Building

Amiens Cathedral

New Crobuzon

Is this an advertisement for Seattle?

Nice drawing though,

Gotham City?

There:

EDIT: I usually think of Gotham as a mixture of Dark Art Deco and Neo Gothic Revival. In Tim Burtan's version, it also had Twisted Art Novou, Deconstructionist Mordernist, and other bizzare styles mixed together incongruesly.

The tallest building there resembles Stalinist architecture for me.

Are you talking about the tallest building in the last picture (of Gotham)?

I have a few more images of Neo-Gothic skyscrapers. They are the white and gold buildings and they house the Elites in City Life.

Thank you, but are the heights not supposed to be up to 800px in width if they are no more than 600 px tall? That would make 240,000 pixels total. I am going to stay on the safe side and make the last one 600x621.
