The Tallest Building In Scandinavia With A Twist: Turning Torso

The Tallest Building In Scandinavia With A Twist: Turning Torso Advertisement Turning Torso is a 190 meter tall residential skyscraper located in Malmo, Sweden and is the tallest building in all of Scandinavia. The tower also holds the distinction of being considered the first twisting skyscraper, with a total rotation of 90 degrees from bottom to top, when it opened in 2005. Inspired by a white marble sculpture created by Spanish architect, engineer, and artist, Santiago Calatrava, the tower embodies Malmö’s revival and Sweden’s determination to lead the world in expressive, sustainable design typologies. The developer HSB was impressed when its director saw the sculpture in an exhibit and subsequently reached out to Calatrava to design a residential building in the sam manner. Intentionally provocative and contextually definitive, the Turning Torso has become a landmark of the city’s redeveloped Western Harbour.

Swedish History Is Evident in These 14 Buildings

© Liam Kearney/Shutterstock.com Sweden’s history as a sovereign state stretches back a thousand years, though its boundaries were often changing until the early 19th century. These 14 buildings provide useful snapshots of how the country’s distant past has influenced its more recent history. Earlier versions of the descriptions of these buildings first appeared in 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die , edited by Mark Irving (2016). Writers’ names appear in parentheses. Church of St. Mark St. Mark’s Church, built in 1964 for a new suburban parish in Stockholm, includes a meeting room attached to the church and a row of single-story offices with a low belfry, where the bells are rung by hand in the English manner rather than by an automatic carillon. The little, villagelike complex of buildings is set among birch trees. The covered porch at the entrance to the church is actually a freestanding structure.
