The realized fish looks much cuter than the proposed one. 😍

wth happened there?

Ugh…this is so misleading. The terminal was supposed to launch this fall and has been delayed. The first picture was one of several submitted and not the final design. There are no actual cruise ships that currently visit Visakhapatnam yet. The delay is until March and the angle of this photo is also misleading. It’s a beautiful building and once landscaped and after construction is completed, it will be exactly what was ordered.

Why do these renders look so futuristic and the actual buildings so downsized and bland? 😩

Those graphic designers should take it more easy with the lighting 😄

It's the brightening. So many of these are so dark in reality. The tinting on the windows, the material of the outside, etc, add darkness to the buildings once they are complete, and they look like sad versions of the rendering.

It literally looks like a falling apart corrugated shipping container.

if the photo was taken from the same angle it would be about the same. also a pic at night would show the highlights when its lit up and have a similar look.

The 🪩 effect was totally lost 😞

a horrifying result -- at least the trees look better IRL than the render

Eco friendly on the render, industrial mammoth in reality - totally different styles and concepts

I kinda like the real version better

Honestly, it looks bad in the first pic, worse in the second.

It looks derelict.

I drove past it a number of times, it looked terrible, thankfully it has gone

Again the futuristic utopia vs reality

This looks like total amateurs gave it a try

Taken from completely different angle.

OK. Not gonna lie. The finished product may not look the same, but I am really liking the way that facade turned out.

This, to me, looks like an oversized air traffic control tower. In both images.

If they used the copper colored cladding, this would actually be close to the rendering.

goes to prove that some people cannot think in 3 dimensions -- as a design professional it's worse crime than being a colour-blind air force pilot.

Well, the holographic teleportation device wasn’t ready on time or this generation is too early for it

If the architect would take into account how the exterior will look on gray overcast days, it might improve the appearance of these modern stark structures.

so ugly, I have nothing more

Again, pressure wash it!

I think this one turned out remarkably close. It might be even closer if we saw the real building from the same angle as the render.

Why does it not match?

Again, looks flat and short in comparison to the actual project

Yet if you didn't knew that rendering than the actual building is quite pleasant.

Try again at night, may look different

Looks way better in reality

Bomb shelter?

The rendering looks completely impossible.

The designers dream big but the constructors must stick between materials limitations

Looks exactly the same. Just the lightening

I actually like the real one more.

To be fair, it's still under construction.

Please stop taking pictures from different angles and in different day times to compare and then say "they not delivered what they promised"...

Why the drab colors on the balconies? And the complaint was that it wasn't white??

Not that bad, I actually like the real building. They should merely change the color of the light, to blue or white for instance.

Why do these buildings end up looking dingy? Is it the lighting the reality pictures are taken in? Is it choosing a darker building material? Photoshop?

This is not what was promised, but I think it's cool. I actually like the contrast between the bottom and the top.

I actually like the real one better than the rendering.

I like the real one better. It's cleaner/tidyer. The rendered building is too chaotic.

Casket design should be buried

Thats a disign that is possible: Citadel Amsterdam Ronald_Til...h-1160.jpg

Maybe the modern technology is not there yet to produce such mesmerising materials and visual effects
