[Black Wolf]

I know we've never actually seen any - not with enough clarity to get any ideas about how it should look, but I'm looking for inspiration anyway. Anyone ever seen anything in other universe, or real buildings, or anything like that and thought "That looks like the Vasudans could have built it"? I've got some vague ideas from their ships, but that's hardly enough to know where to go. Any suggestions?

[EDIT]Go here for the first released building (of hopefully several)

[The E]

Wasn't there some concept art?

Like this?

[Galemp]

Yep, that's the sole piece of concept art for terrestrial (?) Vasudan architecture we have. I had always envisioned Vasudan architecture as being sort of Gothic-Art Nouveau, like the works of Eugene Viollet-le-Duc or Antoni Gaudi.

[Snail]

Yeah gothic-organic says Vasudan to me.


Also don't forget the Vasudan mainhall for interiors. Sorta.

[Klaustrophobia]

yeah i'd say the vasudan mainhall is a good place to look.

[Hades]

I wouldn't; the Vasudan mainhall makes no sense.

[Droid803]

well, now, clearly you know vasudan architecture better than , hades.
mind running a seminar?

[NGTM-1R]

I agree it doesn't make sense, but if they go lulzcreatorfiat, it's their canon to define. We have to work with it.

[Kolgena]

The mainhall tells us that Vasudans like vaulting spaces, bubble rooms, and (supposedly) elevators/tunnels built into everything to access everything.

[Black Wolf]

First of 3 big buildings, obviously this is fr an atmospheric mission on a colony world, so I think I'm going to stay away from the big spires and what not - they'd fit better on the homeworld.

[T-LoW]

Looks cool but reminds me at a Protoss Pylon

Maybe a more organic curve for the cone?

[headdie]

I wouldn't; the Vasudan mainhall makes no sense.

maybe not to us apes, scratch that, defiantly not to us apes but this is supposedly and alien architecture and to them maybe the layout of an Orion makes no sense to them either

[Galemp]

BlackWolf: Looks like something from Spore.

[The E]

Looks cool but reminds me at a Protoss Pylon

That just means we need more of them.

It makes no sense because it's a stupid design, alien or otherwise. I really shouldn't need to elaborate on it since it's pretty god damn obvious by looking at it.

Whatever it's a video game.

[Galemp]

You could argue that Vasudan main halls were designed to operate in zero-G with the personnel in enclosed, gravitational spaces, while the Terran main halls were fully enclosed. Just look at the Options desk at each one.

[General Battuta]

That actually makes a lot of sense.

[swashmebuckle]

I like the building, but I think the support for the landing platform would fit in better if it were some sort of curved structure coming out of the main conic section rather than a straight column into the ground.

[Snail]

Gulnara?
