HSB Turning Torso is the tallest skyscraper in Sweden and the Nordic countries, situated in Malmö, Sweden on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait. It is presently the third tallest residential building in Europe, after the Triumph Palace in Moscow and the Sky Tower in Wrocław.
The project was designed by the celebrated Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened in 2005. www.calatrava.com
Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Sweden and the tallest building in Scandinavia. Located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by HSB Sweden. (Wikipedia)
Really like the one on the left, the wood is absolutely beautiful. Finished with Mahoney's Walnut oil and spoon butter (beeswax and avocado oil that my brother-in-law's wife made). The walnut oil is not recommended for spoons, the spoon butter is critical to prevent water from getting into the wood.
妹妹 (Younger sister) has grown up so fast...coming October she will turn ONE.
She can now walk on her own...can tell from her expression that she is equally proud of herself...
Good job, Renee
The angel marks the graves of 5 victims of an explosion in Natchez. Mary Worthy (think I have the first name right) was the youngest.
The vision of HSB Turning Torso is based on a sculpture called Twisting Torso. In 1999 HSB Malmö’s former Managing Director Johnny Örbäck saw the sculpture in a brochure which presented Santiago Calatrava in connection with his contribution to the architectural competition for the Öresund Bridge.
It was on this occasion that Johnny Örbäck got the idea to build HSB Turning Torso. Shortly thereafter he travelled to Zurich to meet with Santiago Calatrava and ask him to design a residential building based on the idea of a structure of twisting cubes.
HSB Turning Torso is an amazing combination of sculpture and building. It is also one of the few landmarks in the world which becomes part of everyday life with its ten floors of offices, 147 apartments and meeting facilities on the two top floors.
Santiago Calatrava
The architect behind HSB Turning Torso is Santiago Calatrava. The Spaniard is one of the most fascinating architects of our time and is responsible for a number of fascinating projects.
Calatrava is a trained sculptor, architect and engineer and is among other things responsible for projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex in Athens and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub which is being built in connection with Ground Zero. He has also created several bridges, railway stations and air traffic control towers.
