...critically important for both designers and visitors. If the exhibits work to educate by providing concrete information, the architecture functions in the opposite way, disorienting visitors with its abstraction and forcing aside any theories they might have developed to understand the history of Jews in Germany. A long, continuous, angular corridor breaks up a straight one, creating “voids”—dim, empty spaces—where the two meet. The sloping path of the Axis of Exile opens into the Garden of Exile, an enclosed outdoor space filled with tall, square concrete pillars...
...person, she has an easy manner and is even a bit tousled. In the tearoom of the Plaza Athene, around the corner from YSL's headquarters, Hermann stands out among the rich European women wearing tight jeans and toting suitcase-size designer bags. Angular and petite, she arrives carrying a miniversion of the patent-leather Downtown bag and unravels herself from an Army green trench coat to reveal a black-and-white checked dirndl skirt and sky-high sandals. Hermann confesses that she often blends her YSL wardrobe with other labels, like Herms and even Monoprix, France...
Libeskind's addition to the Denver Art Museum, which opened last fall, won some rave reviews but also ran into criticism that its angular gallery spaces, with their diagonal walls - spaces not so different from his new ones at the ROM - were inhospitable to the art or even the public.

De La Hoya, an angular man who stands two inches taller than Mayweather, wanted to get in close and use his power and size to overwhelm his opponent whose gymnast-like body is difficult...
...Christian Dior haute couture show, models posed in intricately tucked, bowed and creased ensembles, while Italian design company Pallucco's complex Glow lamp could easily double for a paper crane. For a more loosely based interpretation, turn to MOMA Design Store's curvy leather caterpillar or Ligne Roset's angular Facett chair. Even Lalique has come into the fold with Vibration, a collection of crystal pieces inspired by the ancient Japanese art form...
