Mapping takes a lot of hard work, thinking, designing and most of all planning.
But behind every map made lies a ton of influences(architecture/ layout wise), so what has inspired YOU in the past to design the way your maps look/play now?
The goal of this thread is to have mappers sharing their different sources of inspiration and hopefully creating more ideas for everyone.

Here, I'll start:
For a deathrun map I made awhile ago( dr_tf2_museum) I based several parts of the map off of real locations.

This room was based off of the rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
