Description
I was thinking: I see all these buildings wich are lifted in the air by steelwork, all supported from unterneath but none is hanged.So i went to the drawing table and came up with this.
its a steel frame with different types of material within them (concrete,steel, wood, glass)
thought it was pretty cool, worked at it in an evening and can make massive amount of changes but just dont feel like it.
its up to the next project,

tell me what you think!!

I like it. But... it looks a bit... unreliable... Not the design, but the construction. I could be wrong, but I don't think it would stand up in real life.
But that's not the point. It's still a beautiful design and very creative!
If I lived there, I would ask for one thing different. I'd have the building hang over a lake or ocean that is much deeper. That way I'd CANNONBALL off the edge of that balcony!
Aside from that, it's one of those designs that's so simple you look at and think "wow, why couldn't I have done that?" yet at the same time realize how beautiful and intuitive it really is. I think that's the problem with students today, they think they need to design something so complex, so intricate in order for it to be classified as unique and creative. They fail to realize that simple... is sometimes better.
Awesome!

I think everything could work but you are right that the construction has to be calculated and changed, thickness and measurements shall change.
Thanks for the comment, you are right about students and wanting to design the impossible. But I see in my school that 80 percent cant think big and will be a 'boring' architect making the simple. And Isn't it the time for students to create the impossible because in real life they won't be able to any more?
thanks again

It might work, if the foundation is huge, and underneath the water. The construction contractors would HATE you.
Love the concept. The owners would have the BEST fishing spot!

jep, there will be lots of hate hehe, wich is good cause the architecture now a days is way to easy.
the foundation must be pretty big, but if i wont use concrete in the walls, and maybe not even in the floors it will be way lighter. mm gotta think that out some day (or the calculator 
thank you, hehe indeed its very good for fishing or diving

That would be the craziest place to live, but I'd do it!

That's crazy! I'd be so paranoid if I ever went in a complex like that.

Hi,
I like it, the only thing is that in reality it would not stand up.The cantelever is to large.Try lighting he object with a hdri map,you might be able to blend in a bit more!
Good work~!

i believe it would work with a (in dutch it is a poer, a concrete foundation block!?) this would counter the weight, but maybe there should be some diagonal steel beams at the steel framework in the back.
what do you mean by lighting it with a hdri map?
thank you for the comment

I don't know what renderer you use but the more advanced ones (sucha s vray) have an option to use a High Dynamic Range Image. This allows the scene to be lit up non uniformly. Google it and you'll see what i mean!
Coming back to the Cantelever, you can not cantelever more than the actual width of the base. Probably 1 part cantelevered to 3 parts of a base is a more realistic option.

i use finalrender, i know what you mean and ill have a look thnx
i know that it will be hard to build such a thing. but isnt it a architects job to think out of the box. why stick to rules of what already is built?
i see it at my school 95% of the architecture students create boring basic and already existing buildings, WHY. the world is full of boring architecture, its up to you and me to change that.
puch the limits man, puch puch puch and you will become known.
I try to make different stuff just so that it makes people think or smile

One thing is thinking out of the box and another is having basic knowledge of structural principles.
On the moon, where gravity is 1/10 of the earths, yes it wold be possibly. Here, on the other hand it just looks wrong. And i guarantee you that it wouldn't be possible to achieve it no matter how hard you try
It definetely made me think...!

im going to ask my steel construction teacher tomorrow.
ill let you know( it think that with a large concrete foundation of diagonal foundation beams(dont know the english term) it must be able
