Chatterley Valley Blue Planet Distribution Centre
If you think you know what a warehouse looks like, even a quick glimpse at the Chatterley Valley Blue Planet distribution warehouse in Newcastle-under-Lyme, North Staffordshire, will confound your expectations. Where most warehouses are rectilinear this one is sinuously curved; where most are of a single dull colour, this one is clad in stripes and different shades of green.

Steel Innovation Centre
From the outset, the intention of Voestalpine’s 5,400 square-metre Steel Innovation Centre at Linz, Austria, was "to reflect the company’s values and the originality and quality of its products in its outer layered steel envelope".

Torre Agbar
The cigar-like shape of Barcelona’s 38-storey Torre Agbar was inspired, according to its principal architect Jean Nouvel, both by the image of a geyser rising into the air and the profile of the nearby mountain of Montserrat.
