Designed by Zaha Hadid, this tower is a 215m 60-story high rise condominium designed for Miami. It has many luxury units and a pool above the plinth. The plinth (the platform below the tower) is for commercial use and amenities for the residents. Hadid described the tower as being designed with an interest in “how the structure is manifested” so that it may avoid the “generic modernist typology” that is commonly found in Miami.

My interpretation tries to express the structure proportionally as best as i could. It has the pools, but no other furnishings are present.

Dimensions: 48 x 73 x181

Using High Rossferry City Texture pack
Thank you to Darkone55

I don't remember exactly, as I tend to source my information from a handful of sources when I research these. It might have been from ArchDaily, which may have sourced it from Evolo. Just not sure after two years

how ambitious does this look! I always appreciated structures with orgnanic shapes.  one ciritique though, should the corners of the lower segments be curved or are these images just at certain stages of refinement. Very good.

Thank you. To answer your question/critique, I had a difficult time understanding that, as the renders i saw gave conflicting designs. This could also just reflect the state the project was in at the time those renders were done. My interpretation was the best way i could rationalize the structure from what i perceived in the images into minecraft. Some of the subtleties of the curves cannot be translated into the 1m scale of minecraft as well as it would in a digital model. Thank you for the critique, i always welcome them as they help me notice things in my builds and strive to better myself as a builder.

Fantastic man; I love the large skew of organic design you put into the building. Just a quick recommendation though; use Fibonacci numbers when doing the lower support curves. They have a bit of an angular look to them. Aside from that, I rate this build with a grand 5 stars man. Diamond and subbed.

I thought about that, and when i decide to revisit it to furnish it, i may redo the structure, but i was trying to make the building proportionally correct, and trying to figure the structure just led me to a more linear structure. I greatly appreciate the critique, though. Thanks

It's not a problem. I'm a huge fan of building realistically on Minecraft myself. I tend not to upload alot of things because I end up taking so many step by step pictures that I can only get them all on FB, haha. Like I said though, beautiful building. Great choices you have on your page.
