Forum | Thinking With Portals

Ben, I think part of why Josepezdj doesn't like the new building style is it has a much less distinct silhouette. There aren't any large, distinct architectural features, whereas the old building had a large semicircle above the entrance, and a cylindrical tower to the side.

For inspirationm, you should take a look into brutalist architecture, as well as the Stage Center building in Oklahoma City.

I recently added the semicircle back onto the top and I'm liking the look, I'll post pics sometime later cause I haven't taken any yet and I'm not on my computer.
Also, keep in mind that various areas show take place in 2 separate universes, both of which are alternate universes to the portal story line, and one of them is the universe that PTI takes place in where Cave and Greg are alive in the Portal era.

These areas are part of universe 1 ^

And the combined tech building is part of the other universe.
EDIT: looked up brutalist building, found some nice images that i'll use as reference and I like the style but some of them remind me too much of the "tiles citadel" to use.

Also I'm really liking that tunnel-portal combo
