Petrobras HQ (EDISE) - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GdwkUjmktWFtSIZOqXgZhA http://www.panoramio.com/photo/771111 http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/3855835.html <- Detail of the Gardens (designed by Roberto Burle Marx) <- Good shot of the lightning at night, not sure if it can be reproduced. <- another very good night shot. http://www.clickmacae.com.br/?sec=368&pag=galeria&cod=367 <- lots of pictures from the costruction (small files, apparently old scans) Description: This is the Headquarters of Petrobras, the Brazilian State-Owned Petroleum company. Designed in the 60's and finished in the 70s, it is a very unique building, and it stands out in the modern downtown core of Rio de Janeiro. Main Company website: http://www2.petrobras.com.br/ingles/index.asp# Why this would be beneficial for the game or community: Like I mentioned above, it is a very unique building, with a very characteristic design. It is something that would look very nice in a city as perhaps a monument. I just think it would look very very nice. If nobody wants to do it, point me to tutorials or whatever, as this is something I would really really like to see in SimCity 4 Thanks for reading, any questions, email me.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I haven't played SimCity 4 for nearly a year and half, but, I just ran accross my SimCity for SNES cartridge... I was wondering, does anyone have full pictures somewhere for the city 'Wrighton' that's in the manual, as an example of a perfect megalopolis? I'm particularly interested in the placement of the industrial zones, since I remember that was my main issue when playing this as a kid. Thanks for anyone who reads this. I've done google searches, by the way, nothing came up.

I did not read the whole thread, and this prolly was mentioned already, buuut... The only thing missing to me, seriously, is a better 'U-Drive-It' mode. What i'd like? Integrate the NFS Engine with the SimCity one, for REAL driving in your city. I'd happily pay $100 for a game that let me choose a car, and drive in my own city. Something like GTA, but, without the guns and violence.

Hey people. I really hate to just drop in and 'Hey, can n1 do tihs 4 me, k thx by', but, my architectural skills are very limited. There is this nice building in downtown Rio de Janeiro that is the HQ for Petrobrás. It is a construction whch was criticized and applauded at the same time. I love the design, and i even built it on SimCity 2000... Can't do it decently here, tho =/ Pics: http://www.vitruvius.com.br/arquitextos/arq035/035_02_02.jpg http://geo.ya.com/travelimages/brazil10.jpg <- Note, garden is NOT part of the building. http://idata.over-blog.com/0/04/10/18/09-bresil/rio-janeiro-centro-petrobras.jpg Aerial: http://www.vitruvius.com.br/arquitextos/arq035/035_02_02.jpg Top of the building: http://www.gpsconsultoria.com.br/imagens/trabex07.jpg Ground Detail: http://www.pinholevision.com/images/pinhole/large/998481587953.jpg
