Architecture is 3-dimensional. 3-D shapes are created from a point, which becomes a line, then a plane (a 2-D surface, like a piece of paper) and then a volume (a 3-D form). Architects use points, lines and planes in different ways to create interesting forms and spaces.

Check out these buildings that use points, lines, planes and volumes in unusual ways.
