5 Real Time Images: 

This is the view from the common space in the West 'Pod' looking east. From this perspective, you can witness the amount of vegetation incorporated into the bridge and how this enhances the architecture (compared to 'draft render 1').

This is the view from the common space in the East 'Pod' looking West. In these common spaces, the air, sunlight and humidity are all regulated naturally due to the vegetation. This creates spaces people want to spend time in.

This is the view from the walkway of the middle 'Pod' looking East. The vegetation ties the structure together, linking the cubic volumes to the more organic enclosing shape.

This is the view looking East from the middle 'Pods' studio room. Sunlight is distorted into a softer/less-direct light by the hanging vines thus creating a cooler environment in summer.

This is an eye-level view of the entire structure looking south-east showing the supporting structures enveloped in vegetation. This symbolizes that the fundamental foundations of the building incorporate the use of vegetation.

This is the view East from the walkway in the first 'Pod'. The rounded tables in studio rooms and computer labs again tie the building cubic volumes to their organic roots and relate to the vegetation around them.
