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.

Cool Architectural Renders 
 
 
Dom �ber Einer Stadt (Cathedral Towering over a Town) and Medieval Town by Water by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, around 1830, originals were destroyed by fire.

Tenth one of twentyfour is my favourite. I was close to make an speedmap similar to that on Sm173 
Been There Twice 
Licking the walls was disallowed though... 
 
do it anyway 
Wieliczka Salt Mine 
For once I can say "I've been there" too. Funnily enough all I could think about whilst I was in there was "This is really Quakey". 
If That One Is Well Known ... 
How about this?

This one is man-made, by Romans, to extract gold.

This is some sort of big educational park two rich brothers made 120 years ago for every one, filled with caves and strange things. Use the second link for more photos.

Those are the only ones i could think right now that aren't famous enough, but can be interesting in photos. Sorry, but they are in Galician, not in English. 
Great Stuff 
Love those caves. 
Damn You Quake Palette!

These Need To Be Maps! 
139 Abandoned Places (mostly) 
Well.. 
I wouldn't want to do the 7th, but I reckon the 16th is doable. 
Well... 
It was an ironic comment for everyone as i thought first that those would be the ones that would have the less probabilities to be mapped.

The seventh one is doable too, but boring to play, as it is mainly a single huge room. Just have to do a part of it (e.g. 10�), and then copy, paste and rotate it several times (36). Easier said than done.

The 16th, i said it because its underwater, and gameplay underwater isn't usually well received in Quake.
