Gnome Trade Guild
Inside this massive structure the gnomes teach new students on the different disciplines of gnome arts and crafts. Each tower section represents a different trade, and the master sits atop the tower of his discipline. The ramps are around the outer walls are lined with statues of all the gnome masters through history. Aside from the ramps, floating platforms can transfer gnomes from tower to tower.  I wanted the Gnome architecture to feel continually asymetrical, and be a patchwork of various elements and textures. I  wanted the use of elements to seem somewhat random, but be arranged in a logical and orderly structural fashion. This would convey the gnomes personality while also sharing the immense knowledge and technology they bring to bear.
