Alright @BlueNeumann , Liking what you are coming up with in your sketches, a couple inspired this bridge that I can see as the bridge for your version of the Black Hole's Cygnus you posted long ago...
This thought of a minimal bridge:
and this amphitheater:
While I see the actual control stations as being minimal, I see the whole thing having a Steam Punk feel.
I was definitely thinking the Eternal Midnight could be my take on the Cygnus, which I already had more of a luxury feel to it with the London Eye Pods (iPods?)
the spherical bridge is interesting... it's reminding me of Cerebro a bit, albeit with a viewing gallery. And a bit like the final orchestra-style control room from Ender's Game.
Cool! That first picture is reminding me a bit of this moment from Red Dwarf.
Looking at the scale, I feel like this might fit... I don't know if i had a name for it, but this sort of intergalactic ark from the near end of the universe. Time travelers from every era have been brought to this place to preserve part of their culture. This is so perfect for the end moment when they look out, as the sun sets on their world, and the universe is open to them.
I am a bit curious why you set the bridge so high in the dome. Possibly because it's all windows, while the auditorium's chairs are on the bottom of the arc because the image is inside the sphere.

At the time it had a certain esthetic appeal (this incredible, chill producing dizzying height), but as I progressed, not so much. I would probably move the whole thing down further (with an incredible chill producing dizzying expanse above)
Very nice. I love the old school model greebling on it, but when I picture the inside, I picture every terrible bureaucracy in the world combined. You go to the awful dirty tube station, you go up the cramped elevator which takes forever, you gotta go through customs, you go to your crappy office.. everything is like old and hasn't been updated in forever... it's Office Space and Brazil and all that crap.

All except the top floor on the tallest building, which is decked out in marble, solid oak desks, leather seats, and gold trimmings (or whatever is the most valuable product at the time...)

Well some rebuild and new stuff, anyway..
Cheers!
I have also gone through and fixed most of the images in this thread, so if you feel like it you can review my over 10 years of model design...
Enjoy

EDIT: Oh, and it's almost always vacant....
