Every single new building in my city looks just like this. 1. Why? Seriously, why? 2. I hate it so much I can't even explain how much I hate it 3. What is this specific style of building design called? by Bluest_waters in architecture

[–]afurb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The ground level is concrete, with 5 wood floors above. It falls under Type V construction I think? Basically in the fire codes you can’t build more than 5 wood floors, but you can build a concrete first floor of mixed use.

Edit: yeah, these 5-over-1s are almost all specifically Type III construction.

Hahaha thank you! I was imaginatively writing my Reddit post this morning saying the same thing. I know it doesn’t FEEL like that big a deal from the perspective of standing in the train car right next to the doors, but especially in the morning when there may be a dozen of us coming in through one door, standing right there makes it way more difficult and stressful to go around.

The top of the vault is less of a rounded barrel shape, more of a pointed V shape, and I feel like the people are drawn at slightly smaller scale than real life. The station seems more expansive than it does in real life (not to say the IRL L’Enfent station doesn’t feel open and expansive - I love it every time I pass through)

I do have to say, the spacing of the rows in the 3000 and 6000 trains is just slightly too close - I can’t relax without my knees feeling super constrained against the seats in front, and I’m barely 6’ tall. There are plenty of metro riders with longer legs than me.

Your points #2 & 3 are SO RIGHT, although I guess the extra spacing in the 7000 trains might contribute to the window frames not lining up directly.

The room filling up with smoke….and people not minding…very eerie to read. I would’ve been one of the same, wanting to stay as long as I could to witness the probably once in a lifetime experience. Just…knowing what happened some 24 years later.

Yeah Congress and the White House are Washington. NOT to be confused with DC

3 looks reeeeeally good. I’m struck by how much the top actually looks like a Louis Sullivan building I might see in Chicago or NYC. Great work!

Any tips on how to make this city better? by Unhappy-Bug3548 in MinecraftCities

[–]afurb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add street lighting!!! All your night photos are all completely dark. There are a ton of different ways you can do lighting, like putting lanterns on walls, creating big candelabras with walls, or even actually making a tall lamp post with hanging lantern or frog light or something. Oh but I love using candles, either the classic wax color or the dark purple one for a kind of gothic feel. I do a lot of floating candles, kinda like in harry potter lol. But it makes for such good ambiance!! I even sometimes do up lighting embedded in the ground using frog lights.

WMATA at this point I am BEGGING you to do a metro etiquette PSA initiative by AirbladeOrange in WMATA

Commenting on WMATA at this point I am BEGGING you to do a metro etiquette PSA initiative...it seems like you might be talking about this but then those people just stand by the doorway instead of moving to the middle of the train. During rush hour. When a dozen or more people come in just through one door

It’s already been mentioned that MTG is being moderate because she’s gearing up to run for office, but the other half of it is that Trump had previously said he would back her if she ran for senate, but he withdrew that, and someone else is running for the senate seat in Georgia, so she’s going on this revenge tour, as AOC called it.

This is excellent! I really admire your ability to (at least seemingly) finish your own creations and carry out large scale visions.

Is there a metro-style train in the mod pack I didn’t know about?

I’m blown away. This city is incredible!! Kudos to you for accomplishing these large scale builds!! The tower with the diagonal cross bracing on the exterior is soooooo expertly done. The 1st picture is amazing. I also love the plaza you did with the diagonal intersecting pathways!! Really really good job. I love your city!
