Saxo Bank, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2004 designed by 3XN
The building is shaped like two blocks with the end walls pointing towards the canal, joined together by facades that are withdrawn from the end walls. The facades are shaped like double curved glass that wave like a piece of textile. -- ArchDaily

Cite du Design, Saint-Etienne, Loire, France, 2009 designed by LIN Architects
.... the project also incorporates the integration of a new building, the “platine” which is an interclimatic laboratory, a 31 m high observation tower, gardens and a public esplanade.The Platine’s geometric skin pattern is an adaptive envelope that wraps exhibition spaces, an auditorium, a green house and a library. The seemingly random dispersion of transparent and opaque triangles is linked to the varying programmatic element’s needs of light. In this way, the façade responds to the program housed within while also becoming an expression of the different activities in the Cité du Design. -- ArchDaily

Bella Sky, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2011 designed by 3XN
A 15 degree incline is incorporated into the two towers, allowing the designers to create a variation of 200 rooms, providing a unique and diverse hotel experience for the users. The two towers lean away from one another to provide each room with an unobstructed view of the city. -- ArchDailyRead another post from ArchDaily

Georges-Freche School of Hotel Management, Montpellier, France, 2012 designed by Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas
The project can be called “experimental” as much for its triangular shaped aluminium façade as for the use of reinforced concrete. Both materials have been adapted in order to be able to adopt specific shapes – curved and fluid – as required by the structure. The facades of the building have been constructed using 17,000 cases of anodized aluminum in triangular shapes. Each aluminum case is unique and bears its own specific bar code in order that it can be identified for its specific situation on the façade. The interaction between the facades reinforces the dynamic tension between the solid materials and the cavities, the light and the shadows, that are an inherent part of the projet. The geometric design of the aluminum “skin” is developed further to apply to the 5,000 triangular glass frames that are mounted on metal nets. -- ArchDaily

Bicentennial Civic Center, Córdoba, Argentina, 2012 designed by Lucio Morini + GGMPU Arquitectos
A medium-rise building housing the ministries dominates the complex: a faceted prism made out of concrete. It is based on a square cuboid 45 meters high and with a side measuring 26 meters, which at a height of 16 meters suffers a 20-degree rotation. This movement generates a more complex morphology based on triangles, which in turn produces a very particular play of shadows and light. To avoid the flat character present in the early studies for the triangular facades produced by the rotation, a series of geometric rhomboid-based combinations were explored in order to instill tri-dimensionality to the very planes of the facades. -- ArchDaily

Podium at Menlyn, Pretoria, South Africa, 2012 designed by Boogertman + Partners Architects
The monochromatic triangular facade consists of a 3 shaded curtain wall of grey glass which spans the soft curve of the building on the corner of Atterbury Road and Lois Avenue, as well as the south façade. This striking feature takes full advantage of its prime location directly across from Menlyn Park Shopping Centre. The curtain wall acts as a mirror to the sky, evolving in colour and intensity as the sun moves across the African sky. In some instances the mottled facade appears as a single uniform colour from the outside. -- ArchDaily

Aula Medica, Solnavägen 7, Karolinska Institutet, 171 65 Solna, Sweden, 2013 designed by Wingårdhs
The twisted elevation is made entirely of flat glass panes; a geometry made possible by the triangular pattern that encloses the entire building. A variation of different panes handles the demands for insulation, transparency as well as shade without compromising the uniform character. -- ArchDaily
