Sadly we are also dropping out due to real life responsibilities.

 

99% sure me and my team dropped out

I see you sneaking in that submission! Edited it out for privacy, rip tags. @ClarinetPhoenix @JamieSinn

 

Phew! At the very last moment, I just finished adding the tiniest details. Here's my build!

The concept.
EcoCityCraft, as our founder explained in his Ask Me Anything® thread, stands for Economy and City. So, while thinking for a new spawn design, I tried to figure out what most represents both aspects. It has to be an elegant, central building where people use to shop, but not only that: it also must be a pleasant place to spend time in, regardless that you're shopping or not. And here it is:

The Commercial Gallery.
Everybody knows modern shopping malls: warm in the winter, fresh in the summer, a pleasant place safe from the weather. But a few might not know that modern shopping malls are the young heir of the old, much more elegant, commercial gallery. Usually composed of two perpendicular galleries in cross with a central dome above, one of the brightest examples of such is Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (Milan), a clear instance of Renaissance Revival Architecture.
For my build, I took inspiration from that; but I wasn't constrained with extremely asymmetrical city boundaries (while our spawn is misaligned, it's just a few blocks off; Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II's longest and shortest arms, instead, are 105m and 20m). My build, in contrast, is symmetrical (if we're talking exteriors). And the dome is completely different. And the galleries as well. And there's a fountain. And... ok, it's basically something totally new: the only one thing I took from it is the general concept and aesthetic.
The whole south area is reserved for shops; in the northern half there's the 6 compulsory portals, + 4 spare ones, + SG board + Tutorial access.
Enough reading! Enjoy :)

Instructions.
Very important! //paste while standing on X Y Z: 0 64 0.
(I didn't //copy the region while standing in "center" -despite what was stated in the OP- to avoid any issues due to the fact that the center is ill defined. As I pointed out and Clar confirmed, the available area is grossly misaligned with both the map, the current spawn and the statues, so I chose to get the schematics from a simple coordinate to settle things once and for all)

 

Got it! Thanks!

 

@DiamondDesire has also sent a submission in. I have the file as I hosted the build server.

 

And that's it!

Submissions will be evaluated, and a post will be made in the news section once we deliberate!
