To answer the last question first , clay is the medium over the foam core

With regards to inspiration countless internet searches books on Chinese buildings regional architecture . Sometimes an actual representation is better taken apart and recombining the component elements

In order to follow the ideas of the build and thought process, the first stage is to work on the layout of the structure

It is easy to get a building to one stage, then to take the next step only to find the image you had in mind or were working too just does not work as a model , this is where the ability to think outside the box comes into play

Interesting. This is really top class model making.
How do the walls get the flare at the base?

A friend of mine used cork wall tiles, which do have a degree
of flexibility.  Held in place with pins &/or tape until the wood glue sets.

Not much to report roof lines looked at adjusted several times ridge line detailing to go on, then Geoff starts the fine detailing. When Geoff and I discuss a building, the final building is a product of organic growth , pruning, re grafting and adaption....to clarify the final creation may not always be from where we started!
