Crash Site - Surrounding Buildings

Existing buildings in Bangkok Updated for the show

Old ones reformed within the world

Old updated

Old city buildings

This is the work of the surrounding buildings of the tower. At the time we worked them in a brutalist direction, as if the old part of town was such style. Some of them updated with time with some tech on top and all updated for the weather conditions that was a theme in the show. The very last turntable were the first I designed, which established the style, and started the language for the drainage systems, vents and weathering that would imply the world building regarding the weather conditions described in the script. At some point Luis Guggenberger https://www.artstation.com/luisguggenberger
was tasked with working on the plaza and some surrounding buildings (the one side not existing in bangkok as such) who brought some of the material, advertisement, building redesign and floor design ideas. At the end I had the task to redesign the 3 existing buildings on location in Bangkok to make them fit in our world, which are the ones in the first image. As allways team work all around, I got to supervise Nestor de Souza and Marc Mestre work on the rooftops and weathering.
