This topic I dedicate to my thesis project, which got completed awhile ago -even though some parts are still need some polish for better showcasing.
It took a long time (http://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=96.0) to "finish".
Images were designed for printing in A1 format (594 mm / 841 mm), originally with bleed and crop marks added.
These in the starting post were exported at 90 dpi (2105 px / 2980 px) from the main areas.
3D parts were modelled and rendered with blender,
post production was done in gimp on some tad small details were necessary,
and the whole layout and 2D drawings were done with inkscape.
Will edit this post to add a few more of those "thumbnails".
Click on them for the full 90 dpi view.

Wow! I'm not sure how much value comes from the reactions of someone who knows very little about architecture. But those are impressive-looking documents!
If it would be helpful or interesting to you, I could probably pull out some stats from my analytics program, on visits to your WIP topic. I'm not positive, but I think it should be possible. If I can figure out how, I could probably send you reports. Or post them.

Thank's!
On the architectural scale it didn't got a good mark as it has not much to do with anything but the symbolism.
More like a large statue if you will.
A concept building depicting all the fuss and fustration of the (im)possibility getting from A to B and all the senselessness.
Technically there wasn't much to design either. No need for water insulation and thermal insulation, no complicated details to figure out with the roof and base, no heating, no ventilation. Not any air conditioning systems, no interior, no lighting, not a particular technology to bring in.
Like, the structure could be as good for the lookout tower function built with only 1/3-1/4 of the concrete planned, and the steel structure just stands in the way, blocking the view.
Just producing "eye candy" to fulfill all the requirements of the university.
Earlier they told me not to think much about a reasonable function, thus I completely left out that part.
It's their inconsistency they didn't like the architectural values remaining after.
It was my (mis)interpretation of their words that I took too seriously (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6-EAw23ekc).
After plan B, time to head back to plan A.
The counter is at 4119 views right now at the work in progress topic, and probably 500-1000 of those was me.
I'm not that interested in the traffic about this project though.
It is good to me that anyone can get to it, and that I can drop a link to others without the need to make a webpage.
Will make a similar topic at inkscapeforums and blenderartists as well, because of the previously started topics related to the project there.
In general, as the meaning behind was as negative as possible, I'd rather not want to be associated as "the freak with dark visions", but the complete opposite.

Out of curiosity, what is "Plan A"?
-
"Plan A" is a system of small shrines/temples in the woods forming stages of a (spiritual) journey -a calvary (https://www.flickr.com/photos/37578663@N02/4382123465/) may be the closest example, but in scale to fit with pilgrims (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2ukBtcATkc) more.

In Catholicism, there is something called Stations of the Cross. I'm not sure how many steps there are. But I saw something like that at a childhood friend's church camp, many years ago. (In a southern pine forest in central Alabama -- lots of chiggers (tiny insects that feed on humans) very itchy!) I'm thinking it was 12 stations, but I really don't remember.
I can see where that could be both a fun and inspiring project!
