Fingers must have an awesome brain to be able to just churn out stuff like that. It would take me a day to come up with one of those i think. 

Scrawled on small post-it notes at work, over a period of a few weeks.

I use to do that all the time.

I esp like Ikka's Black Mariah on the sword page 

I would just like to point out that those color WWI photos are the most impressive stuff I have seen all summer.

I mean. Holy fuck they look good to me.

I guess they want to enable <a> but not <img>.

Build that in Doom 3. 

I have seen more elegant design come from a dogs ass. 

it's better than the hideous EMP in Seattle. 

I believe the Guggenheim was once described along the lines of 'a dynamic eruption of plastic form'. I prefer 'a tragic abortion of spastic foil' myself.

There's a museum in Japan, whose name mercifully escapes me, which is essentially a few geometric primitives stuck in a field. It has been featured in several books which go on about how great it is. What utter bollocks. It's the architectural equivalent of a newbie boxmap.

Some modern architecture is cool, a lot really makes me wonder how on Earth ANYONE could approve these designs before they are built. 

I think you are godless heathens 

Spent some time in the south of France again this summer, have a little album with photos on my site, might be some inspiring stonework stuff in some if any of you care to take a look around:

Guggenheim museum looks ok to me, the curves and stuff are pretty funky, and it must have been tricky to build. But yeah, it probably is quite over-rated. 

I've been to the Guggenheim in Bilbao, was cool, it looks very nice. Had a very hard time finding a bathroom though :/

^^^ takes a little clicking to find the best pics, although for Brits there are some sweet ones in the Sunday Times magazine last weekend.

Can't believe I hadn't heard of this place before.

P.S. Edinburgh rocks, most impressive architectural city I've been too, some of it is straight evile. 

Nice, wouldn't mind visiting those, must be full of nice rusty metal work. =) 

Nice. I've seen those pictures before, but never knew what the place was called.

there is quite a point in the deconstructivism

another thing, if you like it or not

but actually, I dont think it will make a cool map 

My map, "Slipstream," is in final beta today. You can get release candidate #1 here:

I want to finalize it tomorrow, so please test everything you can and let me know if there are any problems! thanks. 

Fantastic, I am sure a lot of mappers will use that as Inspiration and indeed Reference.

It's in russian, but I'm sure you'll manage clicking some pictures anyway. 

oops
