Does anyone know how the NORD renderings are made?

Are the textures mapped on to surfaces or photoshopped into line drawings?

Rad graphics either way

Is these are just imagination or they are going to be build.
If these are going to be build then it will be a amazing design specially I love the hang garden house.

it’s all just a restyling exercise, isn’t it.

I would never have thought the Flintstones were broadcast in Switzerland during Peter Zumthor's formulative years, but there's no other explanation for the architecture from the "Stone Age Town of Bedrock". One could only hope the hills of South Devon were on an active earthquake fault so Fred and Betty could contemplate the indifference of their god and the insignificance of their existence before being crushed under the weight of the structure.

I am a fan of Zumthor's work, but can only surmise from these images that "the Emperor has no clothes".
