Today's technique is by James Shields on Flickr, who has created a unique structure using a simple technique.

This technique involves using 2x2 jumper plates (plates with only 1 stud) to slightly angle large plates and create a futuristic twisted shape. This could easily be shrunk down for cool interior objects or made into columns and a number of other structures that would be useful in MOCs.
