Towers in the City of Angels

My work as is, on Skyscraperpage.com The aim of this project was to improve my skill in Adobe Illustrator, while also working to update the horribly out of date diagram page for Los Angeles California. In the style of Skyscraperpage, the buildings highlighted in blue are proposed, green are Under Construction, and the singular one with no highlight, is completed. My profile on the site is below.

My renditions of some of the tallest buildings proposed in Los Angeles. The aim was to keep the models accurate down to the meter, while ensuring they would be legible as pixel art on Skyscraperpage. To do this I would look at publicly available blueprints and elevation plans kindly posted by the Los Angeles Department of City Planning, and their site ZIMAS, and in many of the cases I would create a 3d mockup in Sketchup before doing the illustration itself.  The designs of the buildings themselves belong to Handel Architects, SOM, Chris Dikeakos Architects, and Arquitetonica respectively.
