The abstract forms of the Walt Disney Concert Hall by Frank Gehry vary in scale and curvature and are arranged at odd angles each picking up differing light conditions depending on the time of day. This is reliant on the reflection of the brushed stainless steel and the angle of the sun. In-fact, at all angles the building can be viewed as a shiny sculpture. The Disney building has used parametric modeling in its conception and it is a possibility that a similar process of defining curves that are utilised to create curvilinear surfaces as was used in the DeCOi project recreation. It is this that allows a high level of control for the designer to intentionally produce the beautiful forms.

The JS Bach Chamber Music Hall by Zaha Hadid displays similar attributes to the Disney building in that curves create an interplay of forms that allow for extravagant spaces to be created within. The controlled design process enables artificial light and exhibition viewers to consume an interplay of light and space - focusing on the musical performer. The continuous surface was generated by a script from curves that began from opposing ends intertwining around a focal point which controlled the distribution of section curves to control the second degree of curvature.
