It would probably be helpful to start by working out what we mean by culture. Is it ok for me to say "we" - I kinda feel like I'm butting in here, but I'm really inspired by this.
Anyway, what is culture? Those aspects of life which are not essential for life, but which give it meaning? Are we talking about all forms of art, and does this include architecture? Cultural interests and creativities will have their own dynamic, but it would be good at this stage to think about how important they will be and how they will be accommodated - physically and imaginatively.
Maybe think about clusters of studio spaces - in and around my beautiful underground/hilltop sanctuary!
Interaction of art and technology would be interesting to explore...
Mmmm... not making much sense. Will have a coffee and think some more about this.
one of my lecturers is interested in church architecture and alternative worship spaces so I could ask him for some pointers on that one.
I like that second image Luai....
hold on, lemme get some screens of Tau architecture.
while I'm at it, Amaar is nice too...

a short tower, perhaps the design could be used for streetlights?

I have no idea what these are. but they look striking

In this image, look at the background centre right. notice the odd, curved, flowing lines?

from about 2:30 to 2:55, it shows Kharak before...well. dont want to say.
Tau stuff is boring and bland ;p
Imperial stuff projects a real image of power.
AND, it's a very logical, modular style as befitting an Aspie community.
Tau is boring and bland...?
one could accusing of being...clinical...but Imperial stuff is fugly.

ok, i'll address this seriously
we are not trying to project an image of power, we are trying to make a visually stunning place to be. ( i think...)using modern materials
Imperial styling is very eastern bloc.
grey boxes, made from concrete like materials, with Gothic styling and finishing.
it looks...archaic.
I am of course referring to starwars empire
and it is not *sigh* "fugly"
whoops.wrong empire.:p
ok, the Palpatines Empire...if you are referring to the architecture seen on corusant, you'll also recall that most of that...city..?planet..? was build waaay before even the republic.
as for facilities that the empire built...most of those are grey, squat, prefabbed, cheap and Fugly
but as i keep saying, its not up to me- its up to everyone.
one man, one vote
(Gareth is the man, he gets the vote (j/k))
Well i'm mostly on about Coruscant and Garrison buildings
Believe it or not this idea will require -some- functionality.
if you''ll notice, i mentioned Coruscant?
as for the...ehem. "refining" facility for waste and whatnot, while they are highly likely to end up squat and ugly, it would be nice to make them appealing.
Shinra appealing? I can do Shinra appealing.
And, as i'm a SW nerd of a higher order than you, I can tell you that Imperial Centre was more or less continuously modernized throughout the Republic and Imperial Eras
I think...I think shinra would be appropriate for the...gritty bits..
but come on. the "plaza" type areas, the areas which are designed to appeal visually...really, do we want shinra and Galactic Empire stylings there?
I know for a fact -some- aspies would like a bit of sci fi
We have to appeal to the whole spectrum, if you ignore that rather self indulgent little joke.

*points at wall of Babylon 5 vids, Star Wars junk, and Video Games*
*also, a cup with furry mold in. ew.*
Imperial Buildings it is
It will be a community decision.
I suggest you stop pissing on my bonfire then.
aw, but its fun...
oh, thats a good one.
well, speaking personally, I prefer to eat alone where possible, but I can enjoy a meal in public; just rather wouldnt.
