Can I say the glass panes that form the exterior of this building is "arranged in a zigzag way?"
If not, how can I express what I want to say?
Zigzag is close, but that word has a linear quality to it. Since the panes are planar in shape, I'd probably say accordion style as well.
Or maybe even corrugated (or, in less formal contexts, like corrugated cardboard - though that's not really angular enough). Hmm. I prefer Fizi's suggestion
