I liked this snow globe because it included a biulding in it, which is one step towards the vision I had. The concept of a building within the dome is halfway there in this picture already.

I like this snow globe as it has a full scene with a background in it, rather than a object where you are to imagine the background. This snow globe is taking you into the world inside it, by completing the scene for you.

This particular image is amazing. I like the fact that the form of the tunnels end is creating a snow globe for your eyes, yet there is not actual snow globe there. Your eyes are doing the creating here, and

This is an awesome picture once again, as it depicts a lifesize snow globe with people in it. This is once again making the idea of a snow globe in a larger format more real.
As much as the dome I am using is upside-down, the snow globe still seems to be one of the most influential objects for me right now. However, buildings cut into the sides of rocks has had an almost equal influence on me, as for the inside of the dome, the buildings side against the interior, as if they too were cut into the rocky walls of a mountain, with interconnecting pathways from faculty to faculty. The following images serve their own purpose in my concept.

I like this image because the houses are not only carved into the rock, but it's into a rock that is already farily similar in shape to an actual house, rather than carved into the side of a mountain. The house is almost tricking us into believing that it was meant to be inhabited by people.

I like this image a lot because the housing is not elborate and open chambers. they are simple square shaped carvings which give the illusion of straight structured housing, whereas if one goes inside, the actual spaces on the inside may be very different. This idea is used in my concept in order to create an interior which exceeds the knowledge of the mind when it first perceives the building.

This building is interesting as it has actually been built into the rock, with cave -like spaces beneath it. My concept, as it is a university will actually be built into the rock faces of the dome, however the idea is to create something that looks like it has been built into the rock. This image therefore ties in nicely with the more logical and practical side of my concept.

This image was chosen simply because it is close to what I originally envisioned when considering building into a rockface. This structure is quite elaborate, and detailed, which mystery of it's interior. It is also a full multi-storey structure, as opposed to the simpler structures I had shown previously.
