Several massive tree-vase shaped tower-organisms rise from the atrium floor — broad lower trunks, narrow middle waists, broad foliated tops. Smaller domes cluster at ground level around the bases of the trees. Solar panels are mounted on the foreground sills, suggesting the building this view is from also generates power. Pink flowers grow at the lower edges. The light is soft, filtered, midday.
The tree-vase form is borrowed from real architectural practice. Singapore's Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay (completed 2012) consists of 18 vertical tree-shaped structures, 25 to 50 meters tall, that act as vertical gardens, photovoltaic cores, and atmospheric venting for the conservatory below. Calatrava's Oculus station in Manhattan uses similar tree-of-bone structural geometry. The image's tree-vase towers are the Supertrees, scaled up and given more biological detail. They're plausible.
The curved-window framing is the editorial flourish. Most architectural imagery puts the viewer on the outside looking at the building. This one puts the viewer inside, looking through a foreground that's itself part of the architecture. The implication is that the experience of being in this place includes both the atrium-with-trees and the curved windows that frame your view of the atrium-with-trees. Domestic architecture has always understood this — the window is part of the room, not just a hole in the wall. The image extends that to civic-scale design. The viewer is already inside. They're not approaching the building. They live in it.
