Airport City buildings in real life

[LX Air - Teresa]

Hmm - not quite the same but definitely some similarities to pratt street power plant

Seems the building on the right more than the central one...
but I agree is probably a source of inspiration

Is this close enough? @Jenn B @TeresaLisboa @Bridogg72 @Navigata07 @Tim Shutters @Fly Holland @TimP @Maverick68 @angelique @DXB @Aerospatiale @Barkmi4 (Mike) @Dave

Looking at all the pictures for these, I think the Firestone one (first one) is the best match. Good job! That one was driving me nuts!

Now I have a challenge. @DXB you seem to be able to tell this dome from that. Maybe you can find these

And then there are these three very similar - oh, and I just noticed the tower/spire in the front corner of the soccer association, hadn't seen that before.

The University "dome" is a telescope observatory. I searched for quite a while, but found no matches to the building shape. It is possible they just stuck an observatory on top of a building, but maybe this just needs a new set of "eyes" searching for it.

Same with the Pneumatic Post Office. It is clearly steampunk, and I searched for quite a while, even looking at art and Minecraft buildings, but got nothing. Probably just needs more time and some better luck.

Maybe these tips will help someone else find these while I work

If you could give me a hint to the architectural styles of the square/courtyard buildings, it might help me on these ones

The page is updated now. Just sad that I can't map it!

I was expecting this one to actually have a glass front. But the lines on the front of the building and overall shape are the same - Digital Beijing Building

Check 4th photo down, perhaps light angle but appears glass there.

An option for the Cocktail Bar. The overall shape is not there but the textures and lines feel so similar

Frank Gehry's design for Louis Vuitton Art Museum in Paris

What about this one? Again - not quite the same overall shape, but the triangular lines feel the same.

I agree, the overall feeling is the same. It deserves a place on the wiki for me

 

[Chloe11111]

@TeresaLisboa and @Jenn B how about the cocktail bar?

hummm, DK
Cocktail bar building has softer edges I guess...
It's a candidate, but I would wait for a closer match

Looks close! And 2 of the pictures even have planes in them

I like the cocktail bar match. I think the front is pretty dead on.

@Jenn B guessing the type of dome on this building will give me a clue where to look for it. Got any hints?

It's such a mishmash. I was thinking central Europe though. Could be way off.
