Broadway Cinema - Portal theme

This model was for an assignment, where I had to model the outside of a building, anywhere in Hockley, Nottingham, but give it a video game themed style. At the time, I was playing through 'Portal 2' so it made sense to use that as a theme. The building I chose was the Broadway Cinema, for several reasons. First, I would walk by it almost everyday so getting reference pictures was simple. Second, it's not a very complicated building to make a simple model of. The third reason is because the building appears differently from either side. One side is lined with glass panels and looks very modern, whereas the other looked more concrete, so this change in visual could work nicely with the plan in mind.
What I did was I retained the two separate styles by having one side appear quite robust and almost aged, whereas the other consists of clean panels and glass.
The majority of textures were found on the internet, and belong to their respective owners. The glass and vent textures are my own.
