I am linking the images that I took so as to not send Orph into a meltdown with his limits. But this building really has some great lines and I think would make a great map. I am thinking of using these images as my next mapping contest here.. if anyone wants to have a go at another contest..

I have a few others I will post for you if I do the contest and there seems to be some people interested in the project.

Money, this is the arts thread. I don't recall any inhibitions ever mentioned in here. But, I appreciate the thought.

If you like concrete minimalism, I direct you to a famous architect in today's world: Tadao Ando
Just Google image search his name, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Also another good one is: Louis Kahn
Another famous architect as well, that pioneered a lot of what we take for granted with concrete construction. I've visited several buildings by both these architects. In fact, You can see some great examples of their work in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The Kimbell Art Museum is by Kahn (built in the 60's I believe), and the Modern art museum just across the street is by Ando built in 2006. Great examples of both their work, and probably the closest to you.
I'll say having visited some of both their builds both here in the states and in Germany, the value is clear: These places are meant to focus you. It's about showcasing the limits a room has and the objects and people in them. You aren't distracted when you occupy these buildings. They are very much relaxing...-I think.
