A 1:100 study model of Jack Vicajee Bertoli's 'La Tulipe', depicting a building whose glazed rectilinear volume is lifted on an expressive faceted, petal-like base structure. The facade is rendered with tinted acrylic panels overlaid by a fine orthogonal grid of narrow metal-coloured strips representing the curtain-wall mullion system, while the sculptural base is modeled in white synthetic plaster with crisp folded-plane geometry.
