Airport City buildings in real life

[Chloe11111]

With the event came another new building. The Museum of Geology

They have taken some liberties with the "old" part of the building but I recognized it instantly. Partly because I'm Canadian and we all think it's an eyesore but also because I keep getting reminded of that eyesore every time I search for modern architecture to match another building. The building is the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and the awful addition is called the Crystal.

Do not mention that cursed name !!!!! 🤣🤣 I have so many similar buildings, but every time I think I get close, it just breaks my heart. It is my white whale.

Salt in a wound then?

I'd rather have dill pickle chips than ketchup chips. You aren't missing much

Any chance we can find the dino park?

Check Museums, I guess?
The closest I could go was Big-Mike T-rex, museum of rockies

I'm delighted to say that @Maverick68 has found a match for the institute of biology.

Unfortunately, this building was never built. It is a concept design by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners for 425 Park Avenue but it was not selected and the winning design.

This design, along with other finalists, can be found here https://architizer.com/blog/inspira...nalist-designs-revealed-hadid-oma-and-rogers/. The winning design was by Fosters + Partners

@Jenn B this is very familiar. I'm sure it's somewhere in the real world

What do you all think? Is this a match for the flower airliner?

Wow: This Garden Has An Emirates A380 Made Of 500,000 Flowers

Emirates is known for weird and wonderful marketing stunts, like when it flew one of its A380s in…

Of course it is!

Some new buildings with this event. There are some I'm hopeful for a match and others that I doubt have a match.

Let's see what we can find!

Someone on discord mentioned the studio looks like a classic Hufhaus. Just trying to figure out if there is a great match rather than a generic reference ... @Jenn B @LX Air - Teresa
