I want one photo realistic image of a stair stepped hotel building with a tropical mountain motif. Because fake and real plants present too many challenges, the "tropical foliage" that would make this architecture look like a jungle covered mountains must be engineered into the building. Show me one design that uses colors, props, or panels to give create this illusion. The perspective should focus on a close up of 2 or 3 floors. Do not illustrate an entire building. You may use the following suggestions to create the jungle effects: 1. Custom-Textured Concrete and Formliners Because your building is shaped like a mountain, concrete is a natural structural choice. Rather than keeping it smooth, you can use elastomeric custom formliners during the pouring process to cast massive, organic reliefs directly into the facade. The Effect: Large-scale board-formed or organic rock textures can be interspersed with heavy, abstract, overlapping leaf or vine motifs molded into the concrete panels. The Advantage: It is entirely structural, highly durable against tropical storms and UV rays, and virtually maintenance-free. Over time, tropical humidity will naturally cause minor weathering and staining, which actually enhances the "ancient stone mountain covered in moss/jungle" aesthetic. 2. Perforated Metal Screens with Parametric Canopy Patterns Using laser-cut or water-jet-cut metal panels (such as anodized aluminum or weathering steel) creates a double-skin facade wrapped around the See more
