Zig Zag Towers, Doha, Qatar designed by MZ & Partners
The West Bay Lagoon Plaza proposes two identical towers whose structure is obtained through a rethinking of the rules, manipulating basic forms in an unconventional way to produce buildings that are functional, yet also visually striking, favoring simplicity and denying decorative gestures. -- ArchDaily

Menzis office building, Groningen, the Netherlands, 2005 designed by Cie
The 12-storey building is divided into three identical prismatic segments, rotatred 90º in relation to each other. With dimensions of 43 x 43 m, the segment is characterized by functional yet aesthetic compactness. Each segment contains four storeys, intersected vertically by an atrium. As a consequence, a spiral of atria is generated, forming an internal response to the dynamic exterior. -- ArchDaily

Telecom Central, Wellington, New Zealand, 2011 designed by Architecture +
The glazed street façades to the east and west comprise a unitized curtainwall glazing system spanning floor to floor. This is either vertical or sloping inwards or outwards by 400mm per floor, set as a series of vertical glass ribbons. The glazing, although providing significant visual and thermal performance, is highly transparent, offering a clear view of activities within the building when viewed by passersby. -- ArchDaily

Flip House, San Francisco, California, USA, 2012 designed by Fougeron Architecture
Like many San Francisco homes, this one poorly integrated its many levels with each other and with its sloping topography and solar orientation. Reversing its reading, we recast the back of the house as its primary façade with a faceted, custom-built glass wall. Divided into three vertical panels that push in and out, this dynamic prism brings animating light and spectacular views to the communal living spaces, now placed at the rear. Bedrooms were flipped to the front. -- ArchDaily

The Green Pine Garden, Qingpu, Shanghai, China, 2010 designed by Scenic Architecture
On the “wood building”, a screen of local pine battens folds vertically on the east part of the building to give sense of privacy for the internal VIP dining rooms and create exterior cavity space for air-conditioning machine. This wood screen therefore achieves a visual effect for views between inside and outside. -- ArchDaily

DC Towers I, Vienna, Austria, 2014 designed by Dominique Perrault Architecture
The towers function as two pieces of a gigantic monolith that seems to have split into two unequal halves, which then open to create an arch with undulating and shimmering façades that bring the newly created public space to life in the void created there. -- ArchDaily
