A collection of images that I have gathered to hone down the style of building that I am hoping to produce. These images give me a good understanding of the different parts of the building I can split up and consider for the modular approach. For example, I could produce a variety of different cornices with different patterns and dentil placements which could seamlessly attach to a variety of building facades.
I have also researched into the specific parts of buildings, which will make it easier to search for specific photo reference and refer to conventions that actual buildings follow too.

For aesthetics, I originally planned to theme it on the streets of Akihabara in Japan, which 'Cyberpunk' draws a lot of reference from. Using bright neon lights against a dark, blue toned backdrop for contrast. Where the signs on the side of buildings for advertisement were so plentiful, it seems like any available space is used for the signage. However, I wasn't too sure about if this would be possible in the time I had, having to model these assets, and devise a system of ensuring they fit together in a modular structure.
