Futurist and other Artsyle Inspiration

I decided to branch my research out to other artists around the world that i believe may have inspired Giacomo Balla to work the way he did and also to grasp the kind of impact he had on the world in his Futurist movement.

The shapes of the buildings in these thumbnails are exactly what im looking for, taking my inspiration from the giant crystalline caves in my influence maps, ancient and tribal art, and repeated circular gate ways.  

There are a few themes presented by the extract of Argia that I am focusing on. Since it is underground i immediately thought of the earths core and magma, also a goddess in ancient mythology all across the globe referred to as being the mother of the earth Ghia. I also wanted to incorporate a sense of un-safeness with darkness and death which actually kind of contradicts the idea of Ghia (mother nature) who sustains and gives life to earth. Merging these ideas gave a me city hidden underground ruled by the direct influence of an angry Ghia that has turned her back on ground above.

To show this i thought the city from the outside look could like a giant woman and city is within her. Also by showing there is a strong worship/guidance of the her feminine energy. I can do this successfully with statues, engravings, patterns, and building shapes and spacing.
