“The Pearl”, the fictional skyscraper and world’s tallest building, is not just the setting of much of the action of the film “Skyscraper” (dir. Rawson Marshall Thurber, 2018). Importantly, it is a construction that directly relies on the film’s genre forbearers, a symbolic edifice, making architectural and visual the pastiche that is the film itself.

Rawson Marshall Thurber, 2018). Importantly, it is a construction that directly relies on the film’s genre forbearers, a symbolic edifice, making architectural and visual the pastiche that is the film itself. Briefly, Skyscraper centers on Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) and his family, as they combat terrorist (who are really thieves) both inside and outside the about-to-open 225-story “Pearl” skyscraper, which dominates the Honk Kong skyline. “The Pearl”, built by Zhao Long Ji (Chin Han) can’t open until Sawyer gives his risk-assessment report, while he has been assessing the building, he and his family have been the building’s only residents on the 98th floor (the commercial floors below have already opened).
Constructing my “The Pearl” for the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
It was very difficult and took more than 90 houres to recreate this amazing building with the help of Blender 2. 9. The search on the Internet only brought a few pictures from the east, e. g. posters, film images, etc. No schemes or construction plans per se. So I came across Scott Hieatt's website ( https://scotthieatt. com ) during my research. Based on his website, the video about "The Pearl" and the pictures, I was able to implement the external structure and some details. Most of the clues gave me the scenes from the film "Skyscraper" themselves. The film opens showing the construction of The Pearl in a glossy cable-news profile (https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=pNLpl. . . ), with a time-lapse of its construction and integration into the Hong Kong skyline as well as the tourist-oriented commercial world of the film. This sequence establishes both the location as well as the internal details. The base of “The Pearl” sits directly on Victoria Harbor, with an internal structure filled with multi-story voids, which we later see will be spaces for wind turbines and a huge atrium garden space. Once it stands complete, its geography is quite well established, on the southern tip of Tsim Sha Tsui peninsula in southern Kowloon. It is set between the tallest building in Hong Kong, The International Commerce Centre, to its north-west and Tower 2 of the International Finance Centre, to its south-west. Just south of ”The Pearl” is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, with its distinctive layered, curved roof. The opening promotional video also makes clear the layout of many of the floors, as well as some of key locations and their mechanics, e. g. the wind turbines, an interior elevator, the spherical pearl at the top of the spire, etc. The video also giving the audience a sense of scale, with “The Pearl” (at 3,500’) towering over the Burj Khalifa (at 2,717’) and the Empire State Building (at 1,250’).
