“We looked at Frank Gehry designs and a lot of modern architecture with folded planes and fractalized surfaces and kind of riffed on all of that. It looks like it fell from the sky onto this field.” Looking at Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao the influence is clear.
Two other architects immediately come to mind as possible influences. Daniel Libeskind and Greg Lynn are leaders in the field of “folded planes and fractalized surfaces.”

Horns of death more so than what the horn of plenty classically represent. Nice way to equate architecture with the totalitarian oligarchies of the world, real and imagined. I think they're on to something...
I only saw the first Hunger Games movie (never read the books), and completely hated everything about it. The story is basically a lame retread of The Lottery, and visually the movie was terrible - way over-stylized, and poorly so.
I do recall thinking that the Horn looked totally out of place - it knocked me out of the narrative and right into "Hmm, I wonder who on the film crew designed that little trendy nugget?".
I watched Divergent over the holiday - that movie had some pretty excellent examples of architecture representing various human characteristics. So much more enjoyable than Hunger Games!
