The building of the Brandhorst museum which was recently opened
in Munich is covered with 36000 colored ceramic rods. While this
must have been a pain to build, it just begs for an SDL loop ;)

The pyramid WIP is just included to have something to reflect.
Trees are from POV-Tree. This is not a model of the actual building,
just a single wall. For more information on the building itself, see

Due to the structure, the appearance changes based on distance,
viewing angle and light direction. Here are two more views.

Very nice. I love that kind of architecture. Well done by the way.

Looks nice, I will have to go and visit this next time I around that area.

By the way, you could apply a very small amount of random rotation to each 
sheet of reflective glass, to make it look a bit more realistic and not CG 
:-)

From a theoretical point of view (I've never tried to model a glass facade
building) some slight large-scale normal pertubation should be good as well.

hmm yes have to try this. Not sure how sloppy they build real
windows though ;) but I suppose if the reflected objects are
distant the effect is noticable even for small deviations.

passed a real glass building today. In addition to the panes
being noticably not aligned, even the individual panes showed
quite a lot of distortion as if not perfectly flat (both local
pertubations and global curvature of the entire pane from frame
to center, some bent inwards, some outwards).

Here's a render with improved reflections.

And from the original viewpoint which shows more reflections.
Also reduced the total strength of the reflection somewhat.
