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.

Brutalist Lovecraftian Landscapes 
So, I was perusing some brutalist architecture and it somehow struck me as something that could fit quake 1 quite well, maybe applied to the idea of the ruins of the monolithic alien city in At The Mountains of Madness...

Artists interpretations of this city :

and now the relevant barren cold brutalism :

I can well envision being chased by fiends through such a landscape.

The simplicity of the brushwork could be a good base for a quick jam ?

Holy Shit! 
Pic #3 looks awesome! #1 looks like one of these 1970's video effects where one half of the image is mirrored on the other half, except someone really built this.

These are pretty cool, even though they are just sandcastles.
Brutalist Marcher Fortress ? 
The Link, Duh : 
Sand Castles 
Those are giving me great ideas for a R'lyeh map I intend to make in the future.

Example #1 feels more Doom than Quake IMHO but #2 would make a great replacement for our botched zombie. And Astaroth is just awesome! I would love to see him as a boss. Wait... Dutch over at QuakeOne is trying to raise a project of monster pack, he needs to see this! BTW, if there's any modeler/animator interested in his project, it happens here: http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod-releases/works-progress/12520-quake-monster-pack-wip.html

Mostly just feather/bowling ball dropping, but the beginning seconds are cool. 
 
You guys wanna start a collective architecture folder in pinterest?

Holy shit, that door! One has to wonder what the hell do they need a 5-storey-tall door for... 
 
well, if you have a 5-story tall chamber, you probably want to put really big things in it. Otherwise build a smaller chamber. 
Hmm 
No it's not a prison: http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/17201238.jpg

It's a wierd concrete building on the University I went to: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0d/24/35/0d2435fa0dc7920a59b9fcfb144cb975.jpg

Horrible layout too, to get to the other half of the 2nd floor from one half, you either go down to the 1st floor, leave and re-enter on the other side then go up to the 2nd floor, or you go up to the 3rd floor, across, and back down to the 2nd.
