The plot of the film itself is about people who can enter the minds of others through dream invasion. A highly skilled thief (Leonardo DiCaprio) is given a last chance at redemption which involves him doing his biggest job to date: Inception.
Within the film, the people who are involved in the Inception have different jobs to do, one of which, is an Architect. This person plans out the route's and buildings within the 'dream state' to make the dreamer believe what they are seeing is actually real. In the film itself, the dream maker or the person whose dream it is, can manipulate things while in the dream. One scene in particular shows how they make the whole buildings, floors, roads, trees etc. in a city, move as though a piece of paper is being folded over, which shows the buildings being on top of one another, making a kind of upside down world.
For some extended research into this, I could experiment with origami and try it out for myself to get different perspectives and view points. The bottom image is of it folding in progress and it does land on top so when you look up and expect to see the sky, all you will see if roads and buildings.
Another key scene within the film are never ending stairs. These can be also called the impossible staircase as it is a 2D depiction of a staircase. This means that the stairs make four 90 degree turns so that they form a continuous loop, so the person could climb and climb but never get any higher.
Later in the film the buildings start to become derelict and are falling down, this is when someone's dream state starts to collapse around them and I like the look of it all falling down and I think it looks like an impressive bit of Architecture.
