I honestly find inspiration from other jump maps. I find it hard to draw inspiration from in real life architecture/terrain since it's really hard to incorporate them into Hammer, which can be pretty limiting at some points.

Some maps I've drawn inspiration from before:
jump_phobos
jump_legion
jump_gaylord
jump_recall
jump_airshift
jump_geronimo
jump_sven
jump_negative
jump_gateway
etc.

However, I find that I love Brutalism architecture. It's blocky which is very suitable for Hammer and works well with metal, concrete, brick, and wood textures. Here's some pics:




Karnak from Watchmen


Engineering Building from College


Also, sometimes I see something cool IRL and I take a picture of it so I can try to incorporate it in a map.
