These are all great points! You're definitely onto something about adding noise, lowering resolution, getting rid of detail...rather than looking at this model as a faulty source of truth, I should instead look at it as a reasonable suggestion of truth.
Also I hadn't even thought of printing it out, I was mostly planning on moving the viewpoint around the scene to imagine walking through it. But having something concrete like that would probably help a lot more!

Occluding elements is one thing I had actually been thinking of, maybe adding long drapery or curtains between some of the columns so that fewer room squares or segments are visible, which would be less taxing on how much my brain needs to create when I visualize and attempt to teleport there.

Also I have tried to use that method that you've described that lots of mangakas use, of using a 3D program for setting up perspective and drawing over it, once or twice. However I haven't had much luck with that method, probably because I never have time or interest to sit down and spend enough time on drawings anymore. :/ (oh high school, sitting in the back row sketching, how I miss you so...)
