on friday in my architecture tutorial we had started presentations for assessment. first up was UQ's very own Howard Roark look alike who was followed by a quiet Korean girl. This seriously made my day. Her presentation was on a Romanesque cathedral in Rome, I can't remember which one exactly but it was a pilgrimage cathedral. In order to help us to fathom the holiness and significance of the building of which she was presenting she made the funniest comparison. "The pilgrimage cathedral is like the equivalent of gyms in Pokemon."
At first I did not know how to react... and then I just couldn't help it and literally LOLed. Consequently for the rest of the 40 minutes of the tutorial I sat there with an uncontrollable grin on my face.
Here is the interior of a traditional Romanesque cathedral. The crossing of the nave and the transept make the floor plan cruciform in shape.
...and here is the floor plan for the Pewter City gym in Pokemon Red/Blue Version.
