Building with triangular facades

Abstract

A building uses three or more triangular facades arranged in a serial array formed by one triangular facade jutting from side face boundaries of each of the abutted and side-by-side triangular facades. The triangular facades configured similarly are in a dispersed serial arrangement about an elongated central axis. One triangular façade is the larger of triangular facades and all facades have a triangularly shaped outer facing wall bounded by an endless succession of perimeter walls in a right triangle relation. The arrangement permits multiple triangular façades configured to harmonize with level or undulating terrain.

         15 . The building according to  claim 12  wherein said first common reference plane and said second common reference plane each form an acute angle with a reference plane generally containing terrain surrounding said first facade and second facade.  
     
     
         16 . The building according to  claim 1  wherein the first said array of triangular facades occurs in a serial fashion dispersed about a first elongated central axis and said second array of triangular facades occurs in a serial fashion dispersed about a second elongated central axis, said first central axis and said second central axis being generally parallel and set apart at a pitch distance such that walls of the triangular facades confront each other.
