La semana pasada estuve a un curso en la Torre Torso de Calatrava. Las salas de congresos están en la planta 54, la última, con super vistas sobre Malmö, el mar y el puente que une Malmö con Copenague.
The Turning Torso is also quite interesting to look at - the design was based on Santiago Calatrava's "Twisting Torso" sculpture and Malmo visitors immediately notice the creative 90-degree twist in the entire building.
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.

Because I had to much depth in the focus, the people in the back were distracting, so I tried to blur them out. For a first time effort, I'm not too disappointed with the result.
