Hey, I'm about to start a new BAT project. I am going to make the USX tower. Here is a short history of the USX tower.
<br />The United States Steel Corporation wanted to make a new head building, and seriously considered making it the world's tallest building. Eventually, they changed their mind. They built the building in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The original name of the building was the
<br />US Steel building, until the US Steel corporation changed its name to the USX corporation. The name of the building was changed to the USX Tower. Eventually after the USX corporation, changed their name back to "US Steel" in 2002 the name of the building was changed back to, "The US Steel building". The tower is architecturally famous for its triangular shape with indented corners. The architects of the tower are,Harrison & Abramovitz. The tower was made using Cor-Ten steel and wears its steel frame on the outside! The building has 64 floors and is the tallest building in Pittsburgh.
<br />I live in Pittsburgh myself, and always wanted to recreate this building in BAT. I have actually spent many days, along with my camera, taking photos of the tower and mapping it out and counting the number of windows and other details.
