We wish to redevelop our capital city into a neo-classical paradise. Extensive contracts will be handed out to a single firm who can meet our needs both in terms of artistic merit and in terms of defences for the city. This will be a landmark in our nation's and the world's history. Please use photos to illustrate your ideas if you can.

Bump Seriously!

Ooh, actual architecture for once! :D

Now, I'll submit my ideas to you but a few questions first:
1. What style architecture do you wish? Eg: Barouque, neo-classical, modern, etc.
2. What types of defenses do you wish? (Although I'd rather just do your architecture, not the defenses, but since it's a package deal :roll: )

I'll submit my plan by tomorrow at the latest.

See above

Neo classical, modern air-defences and ground defences maybe in terms of a patrolled heavy border for example.

*mark*

When I get home OOCly, I'll look in to this.

Finally, some groups see the potential.

i can do defenses. also architecture...

we need to see pictures and hear your plans before we give out the contract.

Galmorran Corporations are not yet ready for international architectural contracts, but we can offer our services as sub-contractors.

Your New Cities
Imagine, a place where both protection and beauty merge into one, a place where you feel safe- yet also serene. You can have that now with Samtonia National Architecture’s design plans. Our plan, taking place over a five year period would include all of the following:
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/INCORP/monuments/sphere/neoclassical.gif
Improved designs for public institutions, such as this beautiful university.

A new and better look for downtown apartment buildings
http://faculty.washington.edu/nh2/classes/Chaux6.jpg
Beautiful and original manor houses and mansions for your rich and powerful
http://www.preserveindiana.com/xoompreserve/pix/kokomo/howard.jpg
Better designed and better looking public buildings, such as this police precinct station.
http://www.periscopes.org/P3/jxtp07.jpg
More artistic museums, schools, and libraries.

Defenses are to follow in my next post.

ahh well all i can really do is defenses. and that is thousands of kamikaze marines and millions of kamikaze pigeons (both surgically implanted with c4, a tracking device, and a remote detonator). The KTC finds these units very useful for defense.

The Kilean National Arts and Culture Directorate has been itching to build some really large government building/park complexes.

Samtonia has put forward the best plan so far.

To find the Architect, you must reach the machine mainframe. You will need the Keymaker to get there.

I can supply the building materials. I have stone, marble and wood at my disposal.

Speak to whoever gets the contract.

A Mekantan machine, TJX143, stands in front of a large screen. "Greetings, fleshed nation. We contact you to offer our proposal."

The screen blinks on, showing...
http://www.tam.itesm.mx/art/neoclas/1010.jpg
"We propose a design similar to this for public institutions, such as libraries."

The screen blinks again, showing another picture.
http://www.tam.itesm.mx/art/neoclas/1008.jpg
"This design would work as a private residence, perhaps for officials."

Again, the screen changes.
http://www.preserveindiana.com/xoompreserve/pix/kokomo/howard.jpg
"A building of this type would be an efficent use of space for offices."

(Do I have to keep saying the screen changes? No. Just assume it does. ^_^)
http://www.dolphin-hellas.gr/Fly&Drive/images/Akadimia.jpg
"Such a design would be work well as your capitol building."

http://www.dolphin-hellas.gr/Fly&Drive/images/Library.jpg
"A design like this would work for any number of civic buildings."


"As for defence, my colligue, GWP127, will explain."

A hulking humanoid machine stomps in front of the screen. The imposing figure grabs the other machine and tosses him out of view. "On every building shall be placed an automated anti-air battery. All planes outside of a specific flight-path through your city or into its airport will be destroyed. All planes possessing an IFF transponder of a specific frequency will not be targeted. This will be accomplished through the use of industrial strength lasers." The machine chuckles. "It is difficult to fly a plane anywhere when it's fuel tank has exploded."

The screen changes to show a perimeter view. "Around your city will be a wall, also of your..." His voice is full of disdain. "'NeoClassical' style." His voice returns to normal. "This will possess systems similar to that planned for your buildings. Your capitol will become a fortress city."

He stomps off screen. "I'm supprised they've lasted this long. Three kids and a dog could take their capitol!"

The first machine re-enters the screen. "Erm... End transmission."

Your proposal is interesting in terms of defences but we must wait for Samtonia's defence proposals before we can get back to you. On a further note do not underestimate as we come from the ashes of a nation more powerful than you can imagine.

TJX143 turns to GWP127. "See, I told you."

"Shut up."

Any other offers?

No one got my Architect joke.

I "got it," but I've never seen an R-rated movie....

Does anyone want to supply a wall image? The wall will be extremely solid inside, with the neo-classical design only for exterior decoration, correct?

WEll, since I don't have time now, I'll be posting the defences later, either tomorrow or the day after, But, as aquick overview, we'll have hidden defenses in your cities(To keep that beauty in the streets) as well as a variety of land and other AA defenses on the outside of your city.

Samtonia does seem to have the most impressive and comprehensive plan.

The Grand-Duchy of Trabay is working on an offer, but won't be finished polishisng it for a couple of days. Expect it to be published shortly however.

(You're just saying that because my AI was a jerk. ^_^)

Not at all. Its just we are still waiting for other plans to come in.

Your New Defenses
A nice city is one thing, but a safe one is something else all together. Our defensive architects as well as our building masters have designed a way for your city to be completely safe from all attacks. However, why bother to have a safe city if your city looks ugly? That’s why we have developed a whole new way of camouflaging your cities defenses so that you can protect your cities and yet still look good doing it.

Hidden defenses in areas of nature that your citizens can’t see.

And of course, properly camouflaged guns pack quite a punch while still remaining hidden.
