The Prometheus Building

This is the Prometheus Building, a corporate Art Deco skyscraper that I designed and modeled. It includes eyebrows, vertical lines, porthole windows, uniformity geometric shapes, color, step pyramids, and a stained glass window. The building also tells the story from Greek mythology of Prometheus, who stole fire from heaven and gave it to humans. The decoration at the top are meant to echo descending flame, traveling down the copper lines at the center of the building, and the stained glass window portrays human hands reaching out to catch them. This building would be made out of an alloy with copper accents if actually built. 

The core structure of the building was made out of bass wood. I then  used rhinestones to make the windows. In order to construct the eyebrows and the vertical lines, I needed something more pliable, so I used balsa wood. I sanded down an "L" shape in order to get the curved edges. For the ziggurat, I used foam-core; the degree of precision that I needed for the cuts was too fine for the saws that I had access to. I  finished it off with paint and colored pencils (for the doorway) 

I also modeled the building on Sketch-Up, which was great because I was able to add a ledge around the windows which was virtually impossible in my model. I constructed the component parts and then copy-pasted everything together in order to assemble the building. I made the main unit by constructing a box and then copy-pasting a window onto it several times. That was the most time-consuming part of the project. 

Finally, I designed an interior of the building. It's an office for a pretty important person who works in the building. I tried to base some of the furniture loosely around Art Deco pieces. It includes a doorway, a desk, a bookshelf surrounding the desk with trophies, books, and plants on it, as wells as a desk chair and a porthole window with curtains.
