A 1:100 study model of the Henderson Cifi Tiandi project by Atelier Jean Nouvel, depicting a multi-story mixed-use complex whose two arched wings frame a covered internal street. The model is fabricated primarily from laser-cut red acrylic, with clear acrylic used for the roof canopy and glazing infill panels, and is mounted on a foamcore baseboard. It foregrounds the building's dense façade layering — projecting balconies, vertical fins, horizontal sun-shading members, and a rhythmic colonnade — as well as the dramatic angled roof canopy that bridges the two wings.
