Brief (Due on 17th January) – To create a rooftop of New York for a new mafia game. It’s important to make small details such as ladders, texture and duplicate if necessary. Use references for the build. From games, movies, pictures or models that other people have made.

 

Fire escape ladders

This is the first thought I had when coming up for New York building ideas. In a lot of movies such as Spiderman these ladders are everywhere. Great Gatsby as well has these ladders on a lot of buildings in the cities.

Suspended scaffold – construction is a massive part that comes in to mind when I think of New York. There’s always work being done in games and movies, it seems to be apart of the aesthetic for me that construction is being done. The high buildings have this kind of stuff whether it’s for window cleaning or extension to the buildings.

 

Layout of buildings – I’ve been lucky enough to have gone to New York in the past and a lot of the layout for the buildings are quite square and cramped. The roads and pavements are quite square and linear for the most part.

(image above isn’t real, concept) One reason I liked the photo was the use of material and layout. The red brick look is very New York.

Some roofs have these platforms that arch out in fancy patterns. The apartments are pretty cramped in New York. Important to add lots of windows on every wall.

I really like this image above. It has the red brick look with the fancy roof tops arching out. But the main thing is the lower part of this picture. Café shops are big in New York and although the images are for the roof tops I think the umbrellas parts of the buildings.
