pagefan Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 This is my hobby project i work on in my spare free time. It's the foundation of a former gasometer in Amsterdam. When it is finished it should look like this on the inside: http://www.westergasfabriek.nl/uploads/1200_gh_leeg.jpg And the outside, less spectacular is this: http://www.westergasfabriek.nl/uploads/1200_gh_buiten.jpg As said, it's only the foundation, in it was a turntable for trains. The white metal ring formed a water lock for the actual gasometer which would rise from this ring when it was filled with gas. The diameter is 60 meters. Another view of the gasometer and in the front a building where they used to make hydrogen-gas http://www.westergasfabriek.nl/uploads/1200_tfh_ext_2.jpg This will be part two of the project!

pagefan Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 So the renders sucked a bit (a lot)...white model on a white transparant background... Some new renders, well new, better maybe... Criticism, any, appreciated. Cheers, Pagefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO-oo- Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Cool! Thanks for showing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagefan Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 A little update: on top of the gasometer base structure there will be a new (steel-)structure. In the lens formed roof will hold all kind of installations, the space below will be filled with hanging platforms (upcoming render).

Guest Swann Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Do you thinking about blowing it Up on the end ? Burn my Rome, BURN ! Edited May 11, 2008 by SWANN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagefan Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well, since i really haven't done anything fancy yet with dynamics in houdini and taking into account it has something to do with gas, i might consider it...Would be interesting to simulate a melting steel construction too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninak Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hoi My name is Nina and I'm a architecture student at the Technical University. I'm working on a project which concerns the Gasometer of the Westergasfabriek built in 1902-1903. Pagefan, is it possible to work on your 3d model?? Kind regards, Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
