DescriptionTangerine Reverie is a galactic environment describing a metaphorical garden of both natural and man-made forms. Intended as public architecture, the building's snail-like structure curls out of the land. A road winds through the rocky jewel-studded terrain and leads to the building's entry. The building is framed by four additional story-telling features: 1) the people in the foreground to accentuate depth, 2) sinewy pod-laden alien tree forms, 3) three satellites being ejected from an unknown source behind the building, and 4) a rising planet at the horizon.
