Vancouver Washington Temple

Video

I have finished my model for the vancouver Washington Temple. This is based upon information released by the Church, and is as accurate as I could have possibly have made it to this point.

You ever see a temple design that just grabs your attention and inspires you? This is not one of those designs for me. By the time this render was released, 2 other temples were in progress with almost this exact same design, and McKinney Texas had been released with the same basic format. And I find none of them inspirational. To me, they don’t feel much like what I expect froma temple. It was uninspiring when Auckland was released, and its constant reuse is making the design more generic and bland for me. And then, when McKinney was redesigned, great effort was made to reuse design aspects from this, especially the spire. The result of that one looks proprtionally wrong. Tacoma and Lethbridge are using the same base, with a different spire. While they marginally look better to me, it’s not by much. Still bland and generic.
