 | | Baroque Villa

This is a Baroque villa based on Villa Amerika, in Prague (1720). I'm afraid that not all of the ornamentation comes through in the LEGO version. It looks a bit more neo-classical rather than baroque. (URL) posting the model on (...) (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.build, lugnet.cad.ray)

This is a futuristic capital building I created. (URL) utilizes a number of different classical architectural styles, and some art-deco, but the final look is decidedly futuristic.

Nice. I like a lot of different things about it. I like the very small transept and choir. Usually small churches are purely rectangular. Only larger buildings tend to exhibit the cross-like geometry. I like how this one has the mini-transept and (...) (24 years ago, 23-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

Churches often have some sort of underground rooms. Cathedrals generally have crypts for notable dead people underneath them, or for relics or whatever. Crypts for notable live people are kept elsewhere. Campaniles are generally part of the Italian (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

These pictures were of clear glass sky-scrapers that bear reasonable resemblance to my building. However, the external (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
