Click Clack Hotel, Bogotá, Bogota, Colombia, 2012 designed by Plan B Arquitectos
This hotel is an attempt to open or permeate the norm: it is slim and has four open facades due to side setbacks; the larger facades are set back to allow a double skin of metal and glass, and the main facade articulates urban life and cantilevers the 1.5 m allowed by the building code. -- ArchDaily

Train Station and City Hall complex, Delft, The Netherlands, 2014 designed by Mecanoo
Within the new station hall an undulating ‘vault’, which has been designed to evoke an “unforgettable arrival experience”, features a scaled 1877 map of the Dutch city rendered in blue and white. -- ArchDaily
