RE: UNION STATION
 
<ahttp://img231.echo.cx/img231/5120/unionstation1bk.jpg align=baseline> 
 
If anyone is interested in a Canadian building (train station being its main function), Union Station in Toronto would be much appreciated.  It's not too complex a building, so I suspect it would not be too challenging to BAT, and if you like Beaux-Arts - this is an excellent building.  It occupies an entire city block lengthwise, but is not so deep that it takes up an entire block.
 
Why?  Here's a reason:
Union Station is the largest and most opulent train station erected in Canada.  It is also the country's busiest public transportation terminal, and sees more passengers than Canada's busiest airport's three terminals combined (annually).  When the Prince of Wales visited Toronto, his comment about Union Station was You build your stations like we build our cathedrals.  The USA has its Grand Central in New York, Canada has its Union Station in Toronto (albeit Union Station is not in the same style and definately less ornate on the outside, but none the less inspiring).
  
If you need any pictures of the exterior, I would gladly take some.  This link might also help, but I've found no picture that really captures the grandeur of this station. 
 
 
Above, an excellent half panorama of Union Station's front.
 
I must warn you though, Union Station uses through-train operation.

Has anyone thought of a growable university? You know like the small airport becomes a medium and finally a large airport. I can imagine most universities began small and expanded over the years, so it would be more realistic.  I would really appreciate it if someone made it. I lack the patience or knowledge to build one myself...

Hey everyone, this proposal isn't for a real-life building or anything, but rather, something I designed using Bryce 5.0.

SKYWORLD QUESBERG:
 
skyworldquesberg1.jpg
 
Standing at 120 floors and roughly 510 metres high, Skyworld Quesberg is the tallest building in the world. The name 'skyworld' comes from the fact that the building's employees are working high into the sky, and Quesberg (a vision city of mine, pronounced KEYS-berg) is the name of the city the building exists within.
 
All floors follow this basic design, but watch for my instructions involving the change in size:
 
skyworldquesberg7.jpg
 
A view of the rooftop:
 
skyworldquesberg2.jpg
 
The front of the building (or the back, both sides are identical):
 
skyworldquesberg3.jpg
 
The side of the building (like the front/back, the sides are also identical to each other):
 
skyworldquesberg4.jpg
 
An example of where and how the building changes in size higher up. On the 40th floor, the basic layout is 10% smaller than the original layout, and then continues on up at the new size until the 80th floor, where the layout is 10% smaller than the change on the 40th floor, continuing on up until the 116th floor.
 
skyworldquesberg6.jpg
 
The top 4 floors:
 
skyworldquesberg8.jpg
 
The layout for the roof of the 117th floor is 10% smaller than the roof of the 116th floor. The roof of the 118th floor is 10% smaller than the 117th floor and the pattern continues until the 120th floor.
 
skyworldquesberg5.jpg
 
Well, there's my building proposal. I don't have a 1st floor entrance plan, so if you decide to model this building, feel free to come up with your own idea. Also, feel free to make any adjustments for the best look, but it would be much appreciated if you keep the same basic design, ESPECIALLY the number of floors and height, because we need taller buildings on the STEX 9.gif. If you have any further questions, you may contact me at element_80s@hotmail.com .

The Burj Al Arab hotel has been built, but the tower which i think is being referred to has not been built, but it will be the tallest in the world when completed, and will contain, amongst other things, a Giorgio Armani branded hotel.  If that sail shaped Burj Al Arab hotel has not already been made, then it should be.

A modern, large coal plant, such as Nanticoke GS would be cool.

The BT Telecom tower, from London, would be nice too:

And also some more of the buildings from Canary Wharf Area, in London.
 
 
3D Map, actually looks like that in real life though.
 
By the way i have requested like a thousand things recently, but it's not because i don't like what has already been made - most of it is really good.  Keep up the good work everyone 9.gif

I'd like to see a dead mall in a few of my cities.  There are a bunch of malls across the country that are dying due to new big box centers and new commercial development in other sections of the city.  I really want to have some sections where retail used to be booming but, now it's just kind of forgotten.  I think a dead mall would be one the ultimate qualities of realism.  A few closed up stand alone stores would be cool too as well as a few restaurants.
