Spinpark, Guimarães, Portugal, 2008 designed by Cerejeira Fontes Arquitectos
The building was designed in order to exploit the use of natural light in all its spaces, mostly reflected or indirect, enhancing energy savings and visual confort. The exterior concrete envelope provides shade in the summer avoiding overheating in the interior spaces. -- ArchDaily

Jean Cocteau Museum, Menton, France, 2011 designed by Rudy Ricciotti
....looks terrific in close-up detail shots and aerial night views, where writhing fingers of finely molded concrete extend around it like “octupus tentacles,” “flowing hair,” or “chandeliers,” in the words of the architect, who drew these images from Cocteau's dreamy 1946 film La Belle et la bête. Seen firsthand, however, the building is rather one-dimensional. The architect concentrated all his attention on those fascinating concrete tentacles, but they do little to relate the building to the town. -- Architectural Record

Spordtgebouw, Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 2011 designed by NL Architects
By applying a function to the elevation the obligatory ‘sports hall look’ could be avoided. The expressive character is created by ‘slicing’ a standard climbing hall; the interior is exposed and becomes Logo! -- ArchDaily
