Airport City buildings in real life

@Jenn B this one drives me crazy ... ministry of truth. I don't think it's western architecture.

Well, the "Ministry of Truth" is responsible for propaganda in Orwell's 1984. This building appears to be a concept design of the Palace of the Soviets (construction started, but the building was used for metal before completion). The main difference between the game and the concept is the massive statue of Lenin that was supposed to be on top.

I think Opera Theatre = Bolshoi Theatre

@Jenn B pretty sure this is from a fictional work. Any ideas for the haunted hotel?

OK, so this one is a bit complicated. It is the central portion of the Timberline Lodge near Mount Hood in Oregon, USA. It is called the Haunted Hotel because it was used for exterior shots of Stanley Kubrick's movie The Shining. That movie is based on Stephen King's novel, The Shining, which used a different hotel as inspiration and also for cover art.

Alien Legacy looks like an H.R. Giger work to me. Closest I can get is the Space Jockey in the film Alien. There are differences, but I assume there are copyright issues with an exact copy.

I can't decide

Ministry of Sport

Otto Bock Science Center in Berlin

Schlump One in Hamburg

And I was very happy to find this one (again after I noticed the building in a long scrolling search)

it’s still just a concept, isn’t it?
no harm on that, we have others also like that

Wow, and I didn't think we would be able to find many more. You have both renewed my hope.

This one is bugging me ... should be fairly easy. Smallish dome and drum building ... but I've only found two that aren't really good matches.

The first one is Radcliffe Camera at Oxford. The second is Santa Maria della Salute in Venice

As you can see, neither are great matches ... although the church is probably a much better match with the front door/columns)

Frederik's Church in Copenhagen is close to musem of gold as well

could be Innovation Center

Amazing find!

I still think we are getting to the very bottom of what we can match.

another one: Enigma House is Project Orange Moscow

Mirror house = Len Lye center in New Zealand?

Or at least an inspiration
