I tried. But brush-based things don't seem to like me, especially not after what I saw everyone else do. And the restriction on props was annoying for my lighting; I love using lights to set a player's mood. 
I tried making a complex shape with brushes. Apparently, my vertices didn't merge or something caused a brush face to be smaller than 1 unit, because it told me I had invalid solids and proceeded to delete all of my entities.
I think I'll sit this one out and wait until next week for the next one. Good luck, guys!

I'll share some ideas I went through
Idea 1: Payload on Mars, starting in cave, then going out to surface in a glass tunnel.
Scrapped due to being unnecessarily large.
Idea 2: Technological tunnel with spinning metallical rings forming walls and ceiling.
Scrapped due to func_rotating not working correctly.
Idea 3: Stalagmite spammed cave, with crystal light shining inbetween the stalagmites.
Scrapped due to shadows being crap and hammer refusing to compile with map-wide lightmap scale of 2.
Idea 4: Underground teleport. Multi-part doors slowly unbolting, lights coming on, and teleport that activates and sends you into white nothingness.
Scrapped due to being more an activating sequence then a cool tunnel and Source not being able to handle 5 dynamic lights on one surface.
Idea 5: Gothic hallway.
Completed.

I don't like how EVERYTHING is the same texture. I'm pretty sure they used different materials in those buildings (smoother stone at the base, the cobble highter up, the details are smoother and more colorful)

Well, I've had no time to work on mine. I was struggling for ideas anyway. I'll be sitting this one out chaps and chapesses.

I really wanted to join in on this one before I go on holiday, but I recently reinstalled SDK and TF2 won't load, so I can't get the files going.
It was going to be such an eye-raper too!

And I thought Muschio was pushing the T-Juncs...

I wished Ravidge used a word other than "magnificent" , because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of 'philosophy'.
And really messed up the assignment.
