8-Tallet XIII - World's Best Housing
Building with 476 apartments that looks like the figure 8 from above (built 2010). There are ramps/walkways on the side of the building so you can actually cycle all the way up to the top floor!
A café, a preschool, shops and offices are placed at the base of the building. Award winner in the category best housing project in the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona 2011. Architect: BIG, Bjarke Ingels Group, Denmark. (In the World Architecture Festival 2008 the architects won the same award for the housing project The Mountain.)
