------Additional info------------------------------------------------

Unlike a conventional arena, this map contains many interlocking 
spaces with no partitions, to create a continuous flow.
For that unfortunately, the r_speeds at certain places tend to jump  
over 1000.
The chosen theme is the contrast of elements: earth (room with the 
plants), water (the pond), air (the bridge & the suspended 
platform ). 
And fire ? There is no physical representation for it (don't look for 
any burning lava); fire is present in the fights, it is emitted by
the weapons.
Gaston Bachelard best described those four elements, each element in
a book, and their respective symbolical meaning. Therefore this title 
naturally came to my mind. 
"Gaston B." ! 'sounds like an original title for a map !
