Prospect vs Refuge
The idea of prospect comes from the nourishment that you are able to look into the the potency of the future. The idea of glass is able to give that perceptive view on life.
Prospect
-> Future -> Crystal Ball
The concept that refuge is somewhere one goes when they need the isolation and protection. A tall tower allows one to feel in sanctuary without being exposed to outside influences. Using a material like glass still gives enough protection, and while it may be quite an exposing material, the idea of prospect will be lost otherwise. Going deeper into the ground and entering from the ground will allow a sense of achievement of being able to rise up from a lower level.
