The Trans-Oceanic Design firm considers itself to be among the finest of architectural multinationals. Though nominally based in the Guam Free Trade Zone, there are numerous outlets in which the company operates, and it seeks to open offices in any nation that will allow it to do so. Iconolcastic Towers An internal water recycling system, a sky lobby-based express elevator system which features small business commercial space on each lobby floor, UV and heat shielding blue-glass glazing, and tuned mass dampers are among the more interesting features that the 1,698 foot tall Iconoclastic Towers possesses. Moreover, the buildings generate some of their own electricity from room-mounted turbines and solar panels. They play host to a number of small, one-off businesses in retail, rental, artesian studios and several other services. The offices of Physical Micronics, Exadyne Industries and the Iconoclastic Arms Corporation, including the new private office of Thrace Volkan, are located in this new complex. The New Sevastopol Housing Authority and the Royal Geological Survey are tenants, with the former locating all offices here. With three towers of 112 floors each, the system also plays host to several television and radio stations. The Independent Broadcasting Association has both radio and television studios in the first building, while New Sevastopol Public Broadcasting has a set in the second. The NSPB studios have also included a few singlestick arena in the basement. Tower three features Seraphim Group’s New Network Television and New Network Radio, as well as the other aforementioned uses. The complex holds several lunch counter-style dining establishments, and as well as the multitude of paying customers they take, Iconoclastic Arms employees at the Towers receive a certificate which they can use for free meals. With their staggering height, Trans-Oceanic is claiming them to be the tallest skyscrapers in the world, though a tower in Armaga, Hesperia is considered to be the tallest building in the world. OOC: I drew the designs of the Iconoclastic Towers, that you see in that link, in Bryce v. 5.5. I want to thank Daz for their great software. |
