Rendering, Montpellier Apartment (L'Arbre Blanc)

This is a Rendering. It was designed by Pat McGrath and Sou Fujimoto Architects. It is dated 2014. Its medium is digital print.

Established in 2000, Sou Fujimoto Architects explores nature by way of highly structured, geometrical forms. L’Arbre Blanc is a planned apartment tower in Montpellier, France, that takes its shape from a pine cone. The building resembles an alien tree plucked from a work of science fiction. Its units burst outwards from a central core, uniting natural and artificial worlds.

This drawing depicts a multiple-story building using thin lines from the base of the building looking upward. Angled diagonally to the top lefft corner, the building shoots out of of the ground surrounded by triangles with sketched lines, resembling mini mountains. The core of the building is long and slim, the first story landing starting far up from the ground. Directly underneath the first story balcony is a blue, geodesic space with six visible glass walls, that encloses the middle of the building. It is the only color on the page, depicted using a sky-blue. From there, the drawing shows the underside of what looks to be balconies highlighting the multi-storied nature of the building. With the exterior walls of the building further inward, each story or 'deck' extends outward in a tiered, pagoda-like manner. At the top of the building is a construction crane, its hook extending all the way from the top to the glass enclosure.
