Currently it looks something like this.
I was thinking that putting Warp Points inside this structures would be a great looking effect!
You could place those ring things at the same coordinates on the map as the warps.

Dyson is a real person, and ussually credited as the inspiration for sphereworlds. He isn't someone Star Trek made up.
