Name: Turning Torso Location: Sweden https://archestudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Turning-torso-malmo-1.jpg Turning Torso is a beautiful tower located in Malmo, Sweden designed by Architect Santiago Calatrava. It is a largest building in Nordic Region, Europe. The tower is designed based on the twisting tower concept. The building is 190m tall. It is divided into nine segments, each consisting of five-story irregularly shaped pentagons that twist relative to one another as the building rises. From the ground to the top, the tower completes a 90-degree twist. With a total of 54 floors, each floor is rotated by 1.667 degrees from the one below. The building features a central cylindrical concrete core that vertically integrates key elements, including elevators, staircases, and major service systems. The typical plan view of the tower, shown below, provides a clearer understanding of the overall design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_Torso#/media/File:Turning_Torso_struct
