A file photo dated 30 July 2005 showing the Turning Torso building in Malmoe, Sweden. The building will be official opened 27 August. The building, featuring 147 apartments and built by NCC for HSB in Malmoe, won the prestigious MIPIM Award in March 2005 in the best residential property category at World's Property Market award ceremony in Cannes. The building features 33 different types of apartments, all dominated by a natural flow of light, thanks to their open plan layout and large windows.

Unless I find a Canadian source for the hardware kits, these will probably be the only ones of these I build, so enjoy! And do speak up if you'd like one for your very own.

Lovely old textures on a machine in an old engineering works in Kingaroy. This image was taken through a very dirty window which I told myself was a texturising filter.
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.
