Turning Torso, Malmo, Sweden

Turning Torso, Malmo, Sweden
The tallest skyscraper in Sweden, the Turning Torso, is one of most uniquely designed buildings in the world. The idea for the building came from a white marble sculpture of a twisting human being called the Twisting Torso. Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was intrigued by the structure of twisting cubes, and designed a residential tower using the same principal. The landmark was completed in August of 2005, and at 623 ft tall, it is still the tallest building in Scandinavia. [Photo via]
