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.

Excellent Stuff. 
Yeah, those old woodcuts and lithographs rock so hard.

Wish more abandoned places had as large amounts of pink as this Japanese place:

Okay Anyone Near London Village... 
Do go to see Anthony Gormley's "Blind Light" exhibition. Very good, one of the best art exhibitions I've been to. It's exploring the space around and within the human form through a wide variety of mostly sculptural work, some of it harsh and metallic. I thought a lot of it was great on many levels.

Relevant to this thread, my favourite piece was "Space Station", a massively imposing 27 ton construct of perforated blocks chaotically joined and perched at an esoteric angle that does indeed evoke the atmosphere implied in it's name.

It was well lit from an adjacent exhibit, and I found it particularly rewarding exploring the dark side of the piece and finding all the random "passages" through it.

I defy anyone to go there, look at it in detail, and go back home and NOT open Radiant/whatever! 
Yay 
Metal lego's!

Dunno, looks a bit random to me, but interesting none the less.

Also (sadly), I did not get the urge to open a level editor after looking at this :(

Did you? 
Oh Sorry... 
I meant looking at it in reality. The pictures are like, nothing, compared to wandering around it.

Wrath: I got the urge for YOU GUYS to make some map with a similar theme :D
