This building is a combination of Mesoamerican architecture (the bottom half is based on a Mayan step pyramid) and a Middle Eastern domed mosque (the turquoise half-sphere roof and the tall minaret towers in the background). The general forms are blocked out, but I still have to add the details, such as the steps leading up to the entrance, the various flora along the river, and the geometric decoration on the dome.
