Inspiration & Reference
I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

There is a term for that kind of protection called 'Denkmalschutz'. 
Listed Buildings UK 
No, that is not quite right. If a building is 'listed' it is not under any kind of preservation order. It simply means that you have to apply for permission to undertake certain works, and that permission may or may not be given.

Listed buildings can be demolished (with approval), which is why unscrupulous owners actually stop maintaining them in the hopes that they fall into such disrepair that demolishion becomes the only viable option.

You will find many ruins in the UK that are listed but they will continue to deteriorate and will eventually collapse simply because the cost of renovating them outweighs the value of the property. There will be no onus to rebuild if it collapses naturally.

You will also find many examples of buildings remaining empty for years only to suddenly suffer instananeous combustion, and miraculously a block of flats appears almost overnight in its place! 
The More You Know!

Isaac Arthurs Channel 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g/playlists

These vids provide some great insight into general cosmology and theories like Dyson Spheres/Swarms, faster than light travel and general Fermi Paradox problems.
Megastructures, a possible space elevator, transhumanism, Kardashev-scale civs, colonizing planets, the Drake equation, the Alcubierre drive and wormholes.
Even the Simulation Hypothesis by Nick Bostrom gets a good treatment.

Mindblowing stuff, subsribe now!

Isaac has a weird pronunciation because of a birthdefect(? i think), he cannot pronunciate the "R" as normal people can.

All vids have subs though, it is more easy to follow him this way.

What Happens If Human Beings Can�t Handle The Power Of Their Weapons? 
 
"As I said, human beings are 70+ years into an on-going experiment to see if they can adapt or evolve to handle their weapon's technology. So far, so good. But let's remember that we are a long way from the edge of this tightrope. These might not even be the most powerful weapons we are creative enough to invent. And the systems we have in place still have human beings involved, which is one of those variables that makes it tough to think that we can go another 100, 30 or so years, and have the human story end with the words '...and we lived happily, ever after.'" Dan Carlin
