If you recall, the entire city was drenched and rotting - which would fit perfectly in your TC. Also, the art deco style of the buildings seems fairly similar to what you are already aiming for.
Rapture would be another interesting city to glean ideas from as well, since it is very similar in concept, but the Los Angeles of Blade Runner had more character in my opinion.
Just a thought, and you probably can't go too far with it - since you are creating an alien TC - but that architecture was amazing.

Good taste you have, Bladerunner is one of my fav movies and this TC will definately be influenced by it. I'm working on a city called Shu'ren and it will have strong influences from Bladerunner and Ghost in a Shell. I will use sci fi chinese-style culture for that city. I know the idea is not new and was used in dozens of movies already, but it is a concept that works very well and I can't imagine another culture on this palnet, which would fit better for this. I've alrady downloaded tons of textures and as soon as I've textured the city itrself, it will be decorated with huge amounts of clutter, meaning: traffic signs, lights, posters, neon commercial and so on. There'll be a secret undertown too (coming with 2nd release), which will look like sci fi little china, with a blooming blackmarket, diverse merchants, gamblers, rogues and all that fancy stuff. I'm already picturing this in my head.
The city "Rapture" I didn't know, haven't played Bioshock, due to my weak PC. but screens and trailers I've seen sofar look very inspiring!!!
