Here is my start... main idea is to have huge rounded cluster structures towering up with "Slider" discs for transport that floats through the air for transport...

Started with a nurbs sphere...


Then I made a nurbs cylinder to get and interesting shape for pillars...


Now I cut out the veranda/patio bit of the top rounded cluster that will be my penthouse...


Add a bunch of clusters together for a cluster tower...




Next will be the Slider disk before I work on more building detail, not sure if the slider disk will be anti-gravity or traction fields on overhead guide rails...

Close up of the penthouse with some side window frames...

Decided to redo the penthouse structure, originally made a plain nurbs sphere which I converted to polygon for boolean subtraction but didn't like the result. So I chucked it and started again with pure nurb spheres to come up with this...





...broadened the landing platform a bit below... by pulling the point handles sidewyas



...and added some side sections...

That does look more interesting.

here is my final entry... just didn't have enough time to realize it in detail as i wanted to and no time for proper texturing just used the standard roof tile shader of trueSpace...

so it is basically slider rails string across the sky between buildings with floater pods sliding along them, as seen in the foreground...
