Turning Torso


Turning Torso is an amazing architectural feat situated in Malmö, Sweden on the Öresund strait. It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The 54 stories, featured in a complete 90 degree twist, stand out in the southern swedish town's skyline. It is a very impressive site in person. From where I sit in my swedish class I can see it out the window towering over the city. I consider it a sort of weathervane; I can tell what type of a day it will be outside depending on how clearly I can see it. If it is a really dreary day you can't see it at all, but it is in clear view from the window on nice, sunny days. My boyfriend and I walked the 3 kilometers from our flat to the coast to see it last weekend. I am not a very good photographer and my pictures don't really do it justice, but here are some images I caught on our journey to the Torso...
