metroville d.i.

individual design/render
After given three words, I was tasked with designing and rendering a city based upon two out of the three of those words. I received Britannia, Parisian, and low poly which I then discarded Britannia after preliminary research and decided to base all of my angles of streets and buildings on the low poly attribute while the layout of the city itself is based on a Parisian design. A Parisian city has large landmark locations at the cross intersection of numerous streets, usually leading to a large node. The city also contains plotted districts separated from one another as well as wide rivers coursing through the center of the city. The nodes I chose are three large greenspaces that lead off in every direction with the main land uses separated from one another: industrial to the Northern and Southern ends, and large commercial and residential districts closer to the center of the plan.
