The Triangle Tower is the distinctive new landmark on the right-bank skyline of Cologne. The high-rise possesses an unusual shape: a Reuleaux triangle comprising three convex sides, in combination with a round core, results in rooms of varying depth. The three segments of the tower's glass facade vary depending on the climactic conditions. The south face, which is most exposed to wind and sunlight, was constructed as a back-ventilated double facade, while the northwest and southeast faces each have a single shell. This video features footage taken of and from Köln Triangle Tower, footage from the tower includes the Cologne city scape, River Rhine, Cathedral, Hauptbahnhof, Messe Köln, Hohenzollernbrücke and trains crossing the bridge over the Rhine.
