The podium is almost like a personnel identity to the building and that is primarily the reason most architects do not replicate a podium façade design. What they want is to be unique in every way and this paves the ground for innovation in façade with shapes, sizes, treatment, material choices, the dynamism of design, technology, etc.
One of the most popular design trends that can be seen in building designs today is how parking podiums are designed. Podiums are generally 3 to 8 or 10 floors which mainly house the services, recreation, entrance lobbies, and car park.
The buildings in many such cases start after the podium which usually has a very different architecture.
Here are more details about podium designs
