Zeldapedia actually. Could be CGI, but I doubt it. Check it out in this video @ 2:45:

It is a rendering.

Unless there is some massive glass building right next to it reflecting light to cause such a vignetting of bounced light... the sky and shadow are impossible.

The background shows a sky where it is either about 9 a.m. or 6 p.m. But the building's shadows are at high noon.

Eh, just because it has some effects and filtering doesn't mean it is a rendering. Music videos are always extremely high on production anyway.

My guess is that the building is real, but the sky is either partially or completely rendered.

i dunno... its monumental, massive, volume-ey, and it looks to be clad in corten... its classic archi porn ... so im guessing if no one here can place it, it must be a rendering...

It is real, as p2an says. In fact, I was in that courtyard for 10 days 2 weeks ago.

It has also been on theNTAAB thread.
