Very specific diagrams and measurements on the Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Tuscan styles of classical architecture, which are recycled a hell of a lot throughout history.

probably too academic (and not on a Quake scale) for most but it's damned handy for me at the moment.

is this old? 

but i have seen better walkers. there's this (norwegian?) forest walking machine that walks really awesome and smooth 

the finnish mecant. http://automation.tkk.fi/MECANT
It can be seen in the scifi-movie "Lipton Cockton in the Shadows of Sodoma" as well. The director said when they were filming that scene, everybody had to wear hearing protection since the noise from the machine was so horrible.

Is the mondo spider, does look a bit jerky, but faster than I expected as well.

Couldn't find video of the MECANT. 

looks a lot more flui9d and lifelike in this video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8hfljB2wQD8&feature=related 

Even though it sounds like it's gonna explode.

Very nice piece of machinery; flashbacks from the terminator films. 

but there's old scifi posters here

I posted some new photoalbums on my site, maybe some of them could contain some ok reference material. Most interesting is Pierrefonds Castle:

A real gem!

It's really striking how the vision focuses on what could be possible while completely ignoring the cost of realization. 

how horrible and cold it would feel in everyday life with the vast barren areas. No real possibility for walking or bicycling either. Effortless shopping - makes you fat too.

Of course it's natural to realize what problems are created only after you have created systems resembling that, and operated them for decades.
