PROBLEMS

I'm having problems with the resolution of my textures. I changed the texture I was using and applied it to the whole terrain. I then realised that the resolution was bad, so i tried to change it back and the whole terrain went funny and didn't let me add any textures on it. I've tried to reload the terrain, generate surface texture, and refine texture tiles... don't know what to do...  Also, I restarted the terrain from scratch, which is really frustrating. I've posted on the forum but no one seems to be replying. This has been a problem before, but I thought I had fixed it by regenerating the surface of the textures. Any suggestions?

IDEAS

As mentioned previously in my mash up, my approach to power involves growth. One of the most common motifs to represent growth are plants and trees. Jacky suggested that I look into MVRDV and I found the MVRDV Gwanggyo City Center somehow connected to my concept of power and growth well. I especially like the way plants have been incorporated into the city.





UPDATE ON ELEVATORS


This is an update on my elevators. The top elevator is for Coca-cola and was inspired by the glass bottles. The bottom elevator is for Facebook and was inspired by the Facebook icon and the idea of networking and growth.

36 TEXTURES


These are my textures. The three words relating to movement that I chose are dynamic, flowing and rigid. I tried to base these words on what I think about the strengths and movement of power of the companies that I have chosen, Coca-Cola and Facebook. For example, Facebook has responded to a changing world involving a need for greater communication/ networking across the globe (dynamic movement, continuously changing).  The other two words I have chosen relating to movement were based on Coca-Cola. I chose the word flowing simply because of the soft-drink, the power of the company grew as the popularity of the drink grew. I thought rigid was appropriate for Coca-Cola because the company has been known for the secretive nature of the recipe for the famous drink and the emergence of the drink in a conservative era, therefore rigid.
