| European avant-garde skyscraper Turning Torso |
|
The photo was taken August 31 of the European avant-garde skyscraper Turning Torso recently completed in Malmo of Sweden. The building, 189 meter in height, was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. It has nine strata, which consist of five stories each, and 152 units. Each stratum rotates somewhat so that the whole building turns 90 degrees. The lowest two strata of the buildings are offices with the other seven containing 150 luxurious residential units. Together the building totals 150,000 square meters. Santiago Calatrava said the design of the building was inspired by a sculpture of a turning human torso.
