Futuristic Space Needle

For the past three weeks, I have been working, somewhat, constantly on this 3D project.
We got two different assignments to choose between – one, to create an exterior Arch Viz render of one or more buildings, and another, to work with perspective match, where one pastes in a 3D object onto an existing image or background and matches the different elements with each other. I chose the first one. I also decided to work on a more futuristic version of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington State, USA. The design of my Space Needle was, first of all, based on the original Space Needle, built for the 1962 World's Fair. The sphere, seen 3/4ths up the center pillar, was based on the Berliner Fernsehturm (Berlin TV Tower), which was completed in 1969. And at last, we have the structures “leg” pillars. Those, I originally based around the Eiffel Tower’s steel constructed legs, but with a more futuristic twist, making the legs thinner, and built with wires holding it together. And as a, somewhat, last-minute edition, I added a Concorde into the background – since it’s a plane that seems way ahead of its time, even though it was decommissioned back in 2003. And since it, along with the other elements, were built with the 1960's retro-futuristic style, it fits the aesthetic.
