No real substance to the work? I am not too sure what you mean
but the main focus is the concept of the design. I will probably end up
presenting a model that shows the exterior of the building, with some

building codes.

yes, I have : S.F. Moscone Center and a few others. Now the
purpose of this post is to ask the people on the net if they have

other modern designs.
