Hi! I want to present you my idea for forum game. If you like architecture, SketchUp, and skething process itself, maybe you should like to play?

ArchiSketchingGame

When designer are trying to draw building from "zero", from green field, clean paper sheet, quantity of ideas which he can realize goes to infinity. He can draw a cottage, skyscraper, factory, or small village water closet .It can be in wood, rough stone, concrete, even glass. It can be fully decorated or be a simple. As well as you start drawing something, quantity of variations, how you can to perform your thoughts to layout, are increasing while sketching. Because of it drawing of something well-favored and elegant just for fun may become really difficult. I know it according to myself.
In true-life project conception you ever have some boundary conditions. For example, you have construction plant with defined relief, trees, roads and e.t.c. On the other hand you have per formative of land owner, who wants to build something. Let it be a cottage. When you hear this, you can thin about parameters of prospective building: composition of rooms and their assignment (bedroom, kitchen, wc, drawing room, office room, library, and more). For another thing, work-giver can say which materials he wants, or you can imagine it yourself. When you know these peculiar properties, you can draw some architecture concept, which will correspond to beauty notion and specific site.
What i propose:

I propose you to feel yourself in the person of work-giver, mastermind, owner of project (for one). And in the person of designer (for others) In turns. How it can be:

Beginner of the game gives target specification. For example: land type (plain, hill, mountain, forest or swamp, seacoast or desert, or gives a model of relief), type of construction materials (wood, stone, concrete blocs, and etc.), type of facing materials (marble, stucco, fully filed glazing, and etc), quantity of stories, and every other conditions as you want.
Then other people drawing, sketching, and represent their work in forum thread. Format of materials, which to be showed, doesn't matter. It can be pictures from SU, SU models, Renders, combinations of drawing techniques.
After some time (i propose 3 days, 72 hours), forum members will appraise results of work on a 1-10 scale. (As variant make a poll, but i thing 1-10 scale would be better). It needs 1 day for appraising. Than that player, who gets maximum of points, starts the game as work-giver.

This game can be very challenging competition for experienced designers and newcomers. Its a chance to show your skill and to supplement your portfolio. I hope you like idea.

For not to talk without reason, not to be unfounded, ill start first round(turn).

Task:

House (living or living with workshop) with
-- one story (you can make small garret)
-- maximum external wall (frontispiece) l height 2,1m (6,9 feet)
-- green grass roof (without trees ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_roof
-- clay brick for all walls
-- all windows have triangled form composition (windows which are part of door opening too)

-Land green hill with fragments of mountain and many rocks.

That's all. I hope it will be enough to design something irregular, interesting and good-looking. Enjoy the ArchiSketchingGame!

p.s. sorry for my english
