And a Spacecraft:

I thought that subject line might be more interesting and extensible than, "check out this cool math program I found".

Anyways, I found this website http://www.khanacademy.org/ after watching the founders TED talk. So far, I've been doing practice exercises to help me get better at math. For a self directed learner like me this is a great resource. So, I thought maybe other people might find this useful as well.

Architecture related TED talks:

• Cameron Sinclair on open source architecture
• Michael Pawlyn using nature's genius in architecture
• Magnus Larsson turning dunes into architecture
• Anupam Mishra the ancient ingenuity of water harvesting

If you are still looking for more builders I'd be down to help with this project. It seems to have more momentum right now than Notre Dame.

If anyone is familiar with Google Sketchup, there is a 3d model of St Peters Basillica that might serve as a guide (if one is needed?).

Extra:
All my buildings are freestyle, and I've put a lot of work into refining them (quality over quantity). Particularly with Building4 and Building5, there is a substantial amount of detail work and multiple levels that might be hard to appreciate from a quick pass. I have a sort of "level design" frame of mind when I've been working on these buildings, so I try to make them interesting/fun to explore. Thanks and Peace.

Terrewee, your contributions are still there and you're welcome to build off it or modify as you like.

I tried to keep the majority of the building within the 19x19 square so that maybe if someone wanted to use it as a spawn point it would be easier to cut and paste? The only things that go outside of those bounds are the multiple levels of exits I made underground. I was thinking of adding several exits on the upper floors as well, but I think I'd only do that if it was going to be used as a spawn point. I also built an aqueduct all the way from Building5 to MrMonkey's underground castle and found all sorts of interesting things hidden around the map.

Looks kinda futuristic. Is it just freestyle or does it resemble anything ?

All my buildings are freestyle, though the spawn point ended up looking like a mandala from above unintentionally. One thing that I think has helped refine my buildings style (or lack thereof, depending on your perspective) is to make them to be explored and not just looked at. Building4 is the best example of this, because all the passages and stairways are made so that a person without hacks can get around. I tried to make the open spaces varied enough so that it had visual depth and texture from structure rather than just different colored blocks on flat walls.

Also, all the water and lava is on multiple levels with plausible connections between them. So the water that runs down the gutters (which double as elevators) from the roof/jump point, collects in the moat surrounding the pit, feeds into all the water systems in the first underground level, then goes all the way down to the bottom through a series of channels and waterfalls.

Anyway, thanks everyone who gave me feedback on my buildings.

Would it be possible to generate a new builder map that has some coastal and mountainous terrain?

It would also be cool if it was really tall as I'd like to build a sort of lighthouse with a wave power generator (oscillating water column) and a huge drop/jump inside it. Actually if people where into it, we could make the whole map feature renewable energy technologies paired with different (LEED) structures and keep some open space and trees in between them. A sort of sustainable technology and architecture meets zen garden type of map.
