Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

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.

To hammering the blocks together and hunting around for the last sloped one needed to finish the masterpiece.

Have an example from my own city: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5vHkkGhIRXc/TN8x8PaHnbI/AAAAAAAACys/gKfRNRM03U4/s1600/dworzec.jpg

Old train station, been since demolished and rebuilt in the typical 21st century glass-and-concrete "style". Probably for the best, though, since it literally smelled like piss.

I can appreciate the aesthetic.
But concrete doesn't hold up very well in wet/cold climates.

I really like Ando Tadao, though he's less constructivist and more minimal.

I think brutalist architecture probably works better in quake than the real world :-) (can't stand it, myself)
