Sorry, but they are in Galician, not in English. He's done concept work for Guildwars...

FifthElephant, those look very good. �Who does the 7th or the 16th in Quake? It was an ironic comment for everyone as i thought first that those would be the ones that would have the less probabilities to be mapped.
The seventh one is doable too, but boring to play, as it is mainly a single huge room. Just have to do a part of it (e.g. 10�), and then copy, paste and rotate it several times (36). Easier said than done. The 16th, i said it because its underwater, and gameplay underwater isn't usually well received in Quake.

Pictorial Encyclopedia of Historic Architectural Plans, Details and Elements
Reprint of a book originally published in 1923, so there's nothing modern in it. Well made, durable construction. Bought my copy from Barnes and Nobel back in 1998 and it's held up very well. About 140 pages. Pen and ink line drawings on the right hand page with brief descriptions on the facing page. Lot's of stuff to draw inspiration and potential ideas from. Probably should be able to find a decent used copy for under $5 including shipping. that's cool, i actually have this related book at home:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kwi-chang/ Oh boy, I'm a sucker for this To hammering the blocks together and hunting around for the last sloped one needed to finish the masterpiece.
Friend showed me this stuff. Never heard of it before but it looks cool and chunky:
Brutalist Architecture https://www.google.com/search?q=brutalist+architecture&newwindow=1&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=m8yVUsGyLMbNsQSk24HIBA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ This guy does great architectural photo collages

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)
