These great compositions of geometric shapes and colors are mostly done by cutting and arranging rugged wood and other materials. That is why they have this distinctive 3D shape. See his website for more awesomeness.

High Houses by Lebbeus Woods

An architectural concept that is not likely to be see the light of day: In the former battlegrounds of Sarajevo, these houses shall rise up high into the airspace once occupied by falling mortar and artillery shells fired by the city’s besiegers in the surrounding mountains. By occupying the airspace, the High Houses reclaim it for the people of the city.

Poetic, beautiful and a great concept. The drawings alone are worth a look.
