Chicago Tribune Tower

Description
The Chicago Tribune Tower

In 1922, the Chicago Tribune announced an international competition for its new downtown HQ on the occasion of its 75th anniversary then. The competition sought "the most beautiful building in the world" and I gotta say I agree. The competition was so important that even its competition pieces that didn't make it have influenced other buildings decades to come. Enjoy the Gothic details as they were pain in the ass to make.

If you'd like to make donations, I won't stop you. Making assets require alot of time and sometimes money. But it's also cool if you give me thumbs up and a like!

This looks great! Only wish the lighting was a bit varied at night

Holy crapoli Mr Wongburger, you are a mad man! First off, yes I do believe this entry was the best design submitted for the Tribune tower competition. Sure it wasn't a "modern" looking building but if you think about it architecturally....this tower was ahead of its time and fits beautifully in with the post modern/contemporary high-rise buildings we see today. (Dubai for example lets it be known that traditional Islamic design and architecture elements are integral to the skyline.) Visually this helps anchor a building to the city and region where it was built, in direct contrast to the international style of stripped down glass and concrete boxes plopped down in cities the world over, ignoring locality altogether.

Anyway I had no idea how ornate and detailed the tribune tower's Neogothic design features were until I saw your 3d model. This building is insane...and you are even more insane for pulling off these intricate details at the level you have. Seeing your 3rd model has actually made me appreciate this building that much more. So kudos on that.....and congratulations on this model...cause it's pure madness....madness that I have much respect and appreciation for.
