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. 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

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

Some pics of oil rigs if you need I&R for that, also check out the 'Production facilities' link for some nice industrial sites, and the 'Sn�hvit' page has some good photos too. Skip the 'Corporate executive committee' page unless you want to see terrible old men.

Nice pics ! to your opinion, would it be easy to convert all these ancient maps in a single wad file ? ... I mean a wad file with enough quality for Quake ... ;P
Um
Why? Easier if someone just extracts the ones they want, and people probably wouldn't want it as original, but preferrably scribbled on more rough pieces of parchment/skin/marble or the like.

yeah, convert ones u need, but you might loose all the beauty of the high resolution. it's better to use them in moreadvanced engines that supports hi res texes.
My Idea...

.. was to convert some of these pics in order to use the most interesting one as general HQ strategy maps, like you can find in Wolfenstein, etc... Anyway, I will try by myself to see if it's interesting or not...
