Today's ArchiPic #104


Picture from inhabitat.com

    Today's ArchiPic is the French Embassy in Beijing, China.  It was recently completed last year and obviously, blends in with the color of the trees around it.  The embassy is gold in color due to a golden silk-screened facade on its outer skin.  It is "is designed to combine French elegance with the principles of feng shui and bioclimatic architecture," says inhabitat.com.  They also said how it "provides a peaceful connection" to the outdoor elements.
