Description
Guess what my new project is? The main buildings are going to follow, though I didn't start them by now.

This concrete-arch is one of five similar arches that were built on the Pacific Science Center campus in Seattle, Washington for the World's Fair in 1962. The center was built by architect Minoru Yamasaki, who later built the Twin Towers in New York.
These eye-catching concrete structures reach 30 meters (100 feet) tall in the air, their location close to the Space Needle makes the center one of Seattle's most classic attractions.
At night the arches are lit in all kinds of colours, depending on the event that is happening. This asset only contains white spotlights. If you guys want some more colours, just ask and I'll consider making them.

Google Maps location:

The building itself functions as a park, so it can be plopped multiple times. No sub-buildings but a spotlight prop is included.
For this project I took inspiration from the game Infamous: Second Son, as it contains a very pretty reproduction of the arches, which helped a lot with the texturing. Great game btw :D

Well it acts as a park, so make sure to have all services available. And if you cant get it to work you can still plop the PacSciSpotlights manually. They should always light up.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I placed it in my city park and at first it lights up and everything is hunky dory, but then it stops operating.

Idk why but I'm getting a LOTR vibe off of this; well done!

So I see- looking forward to the other things in your sequence. You do great work!

I'll consider that, thanks! But for now I've got some other projects to do first.

Once you are done with this, I hope you will consider checking out some of the distinctive buildings in Denver, Colorado. We have some great ones, including the Art Museum, the Cash Register Building (built round on top, but with one side lower than the other) and one office building downtown that is edged in green lights and wrapped around an old cathedral due to some interesting local history. I will happily help with research if you decide to work on Denver buildings. ^.^
