There are a few tricks to help get your creative juices flowing. Take a real life structure and recreate it. Once you do that for a couple things, then just take a random feature like a crazy balcony or arch and build something around that concept.

Before you know it, you will walk up to a plot of land and be able to see what would work well there.

I had a guy once who explained some simple design concepts that really helped the way I thought of things in Minecraft. Most of it is summed up in this Voxel wiki page, which I found a couple weeks ago, looking for hints on making parabola wiring for my Golden Gate bridge replica.

Once you get used to the process, you will soon find that if you play for 4-5 hours you can get some really cool stuff made. If you play for a weekend, you can get some really amazing stuff finished. Thinking of it in that perspective, 60 people for 3 days is over 4000 man hours. It better be good for that much time.
