I have seen some pictures on Brickshelf of buildings with strange formed
roofs or strange shaped walls like this:

And I want to build a model of a building from my hometown that also have a
strange formed roof.
You can see some picture of it here:
http://gallery.wert.no/album76/2004_06_30_0022
Here you see only the roof. The building was earlier containing a cinema and
the walls was round and made of concret.
The new building will use the old roof, and the walls will have the same
form but this time it will be made of mostly glass and steel in the same
style as the building you see in the background on that picture.
How do I start with this? I can see diffrent building technincs, one is
using normal bricks like the sydney operahouse in one of the links above,
the other one is using plates. But this roof is more shaped like four of the
roofs on the Sydney operahouse pointed in diffrent directions.
Is there any program that I can feed in the shapes and make a building
instructions?
Or is the best way to just start with the groundfloor and build it up and
find the shape as I build?

| Good luck with the model!! For something like that, you may be able to use plates, wings and hinges to make a semi-smooth but very thin shape. Think Hagrid's hut!!
