36 Examples of Angled Architecture

From Wonky Slanting Grid Pavilions to Angled Aperture Designs

— March 28, 2014 — Art & Design
From wonky grid pavilions to white-washed angled designs, these examples off-kilter architecture demonstrate that straight lines and boxed looks are not the only type of buildings people are looking to make these days.

A new residence in Quebec recently used a more angled look in order to fit in perfectly with the rugged mountainside terrain, while still maintaining access to spectacular views. Other angled designs take on a more futuristic look, such as the Jubilee Pavilion in Berlin. With wooden slats structured on a slant, and light emitting from the center, the design is like nothing else built in contemporary architecture.

For those looking to build in the coming years, these examples of grid pavilions and angled architecture show straight lines are not the only way to go.
