    Looks like a Bjarke Ingels project..

    Most likely they use Rhino for 3d modelling + VRay for rendering and then add arrows, text and such in Illustrator.
    The trick is to find the right soft-shadow settings in vray, render it and add a wireframe line-drawing from the same view on top of that rendering in illustrator.

    You could also use sketchup , but you would need an external rendering software like vray as well. You might find some free alternatives online.
    I used to work with Visualizer for Sketchup (https://extensions.sketchup.com... It's free and works well for basic rendering tasks.
