Turning Torso

When the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava sent in his idea for a bridge between Denmark/Copenhagen and Sweden/Malmö, a picture of his sculpture "Twisting Torso" was in a brochure he enclosed. The bridge that eventually was built is not his creation, but the people involved found the torso interesting and obviously kept it at the back of their minds.
The Kockum shipyard in Malmö is closed and has been for many years and the huge Kockum crane that has been Malmö's landmark for decades has been removed. Needing a new hallmark, The Twisting Torso became The Turning Torso. It opened in 2005, 54 storeys in all - rising 190 meters high and thereby one of the highest residential buildings in Europe. The building turns 90 degrees around it's own axis so this is no photoshopadventure you have before your eyes. Offices on the first 14 floors or so and from there and to the top, apartments.
I have been wanting to take a shot for some time now, and last week I did. I think this building is a fantastic idea, if not genius, and seems well executed.
