Architecture is probably what most people think of when they see you play the game of Armadillo Run,

Therefore, I thought we could make a contest out of it ;)


:armadillo: Players, your goal is to create the most impressive, interesting, breathtaking and beautiful building sketch. You may use buildings that are already in existence or invent your own crazy structures. Don't be afraid to use elevators, staircases, antennas or any other elements, originality is basically what I am looking for (and what people would like to watch).

I recommend any of you reading the Architecture article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture) in Wikipedia, it's really interesting and contains some useful information. It also contains many sub-articles which might help you create your own unique design.

An example for such structure (although I assume [and hope] not as impressive as what you guys are going to submit :roll:) you can find in one of the older B contests- Taj Mahal: http://armadillo.metaclassofnil.com/for ... php?t=1104


Submissions can be sent to Jn2Fr7@gmail.com or by PM.

Be sure to submit before the contest ends, Friday, August 31st.

Good luck,
Jonathan

I think it would also be more impressive if the sructurs werent anchored except for the foundation.

Free standing structures are more challenging to make, but if one is very artistic I guess thats good too.

Great Idea. This might take some time though.

A really good looking bridge would also be considered Architecture? This wouldnt be too hard to do either.

I imagine that this is also what people think of when they see Armadillo Run.
