You do realize that Frost and the W (which you've professed deep admiration for) are the in the same vein of architecture, right? I would hardly describe the design in that picture as being like a crumpled bag. It isn't something at all like a Frank Gehry monstrosity. It's smooth, simple, yet interesting.
Some of my favorite buildings are the Gherkin in London, Torre Agbar in Barcelona, the MNP Tower in Vancouver that is currently under construction, etc.
I like unique designs with lots of glass that are easy on the eye, with smooth lines yet detailed contextual shapes. Nothing crazy.
