{{tag>modules:module conforming contemporary quarter_block tower}} [<>] ====== Smoke Building ====== **Designer:** [[designers:Jennifer Heaton]] **Designed:** July 2013 ===Designer's Notes=== There are a limited number of things you can make windows out of at Micropolis scale. You can use [[http://www.thedailybrick.co.uk/lego-parts/brick/modified/lego-brick-modified-1-x-1-with-headlight-and-slot.html|headlight bricks]], especially turned on their sides. Trans plate works, as does trans brick. When the pick a brick wall at our local LEGO store had these trans gray bricks, I figured they'd be great for windows in a number of buildings. Then I started playing around with them and this building happened. It's a much simplified version of the kind of architecture on the [[http://www.chicagoarchitecture.info/Building/375/The-Willis-Tower.php|Willis Tower]] in Chicago. Though it looks like a very simple build, it took me several tries to get the proportions right. I'm still not sure I'm completely satisfied with them. I would have liked to do a more complex version of this building, but I wanted to save some bricks for other projects. Then I immediately turned around and built the Minecraft Headquarters with the rest of the bricks, and now I wish we'd bought four times as many. {{gallery>http://bit.ly/1bjdV8V}} [<>] ---- ~~DISQUS~~
