The Conformister 4x4

Development Note
The first concept to this didn't include booths, terminal, the statue or doors.

I started with a simple 3x3 design, focusing on a more diverse design than the usual squares or circles (no offense to anyone - this is just my personal taste).
The walls were still represented by the "They live"-series Billboards.

But in this case two of it were standing right next to each other, just divided by the distance of the concrete-column. I would only use two kinds of the series: "Follow" and "Conform".
"Conform" would be solely readable by you, the birdseye, as the text was on the narrow inside of the two billboards.
The cims would only be able to see two opposing "Follow" on the outside of the walls, directing them to the center, additionally I added some arrows pointing to it.
The center itself would be a pleasant place, promising a bright future.

You could have argued if there is a actual force which stated "Conform" secretly, a hint for mind control or if the cims just turn the walls if times are changing.


But I had some issues which turned down this design:
- all walls would have been white
- rarely colours anywhere else as with 3 items (2 billboards, 1 column) for one piece of wall
you reach the prop-limit pretty fast
- the terraforming would have been worse than it is now: imagine 3 pieces of a wall in 3 different heights
- too flat. i felt like i had to include at least a medium-sized landmark to this. Because I didn't want to use trees as they aren't apposite for this design.


Tell me which version you prefer and if you see solutions to the mentioned issues which I didn't.
