Well, Philippe,
it looks as if all you have to do is join up some curved walls with some 
straight lines and surround it with water :-)  It's a wonderful place 
for wide-angle shots, these were nearly all taken at the equivalent of 
18mm (12mm on a Canon sensor)
The Bentley Pavilion is fascinating, it's almost all underground - I'll 
try to make something of the shots I took in there, mostly at ISO 1600, 
so they're not all that good.
Cheers and thanks for taking a look -
Douglas
