![Turning Torso (Malmö, Sweden) : Travellerspoint Travel Photography (Architect: Santiago Calatrava)
The tower’s design is based on a sculpture by Calatrava called Twisting Torso.[1] It uses nine segments of five-story pentagons that twist as it rises; the topmost segment is twisted ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor. Each floor consists of an irregular pentagonal shape rotating around the vertical core, which is supported by an exterior steel framework.
