I was going for a city that incorporated both modern buildings and took inspiration from the land. The three long sticks were suposed to represent modern towers, and billowed out smoke, the temple arch was supose to represent serenity, and gave balance to the smoke by having a fire statue on the top. The bamboo was the heart of the city, standing taller than the "man made" buildings to show that nature is still more powerful. The tall furniture piece with two holes was for looking over the city and appreciating, and the side curve thats attached gives the building a new life. The tall skyscraper arch complimented it and gave the city more beauty. I used the idea of curves throughout the city. Having a somewhat ocean wave skate park looking place near the front.
Finished the Blue City. You can see it at a slightly different angle here.
