You may remember that one of the challenges at last year's final was to design a contemporary arts centre for Plymouth's Millbay area. This challenge was set by local architects Bailey Partnership. Part of the reward for the team who produced the best design was to see a professional mock-up of the building done by Bailey using the software they themselves use.

And here it is:

Yes, it does look really rather good. With those sweeping corner pieces and waterside location there is a very slight similarity to the Sydney Opera House.

On the day they had to design it within tight constraints (it had to fit into a specific piece of land, the building had to have space for two separate galleries, each of a certain minimum size, it had to be within a budget of x etc) and they then had to build a model out of architectural card. This image is based on what they did.

The winning team did really well, but there were some other good ones too.

And a greater similarity to Deep Space 9!

I'm not really familiar with DS9, so I didn't spot it myself; but now you mention it, yes, there is.
