Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Sweden and the tallest building in Scandinavia.
It’s not just the tallest building in Sweden, it’s the tallest building in the Nordic countries, and Malmö’s award-winning Turning Torso, the first in a wave of “twisting” buildings, has quite the story behind it. When it opened in August 2005, it was also the highest residential building in the European Union and the second tallest in Europe as a whole.
It is made up of asymmetrical shapes, the skyscraper is divided into nine segments of five-story pentagons, which rotate 90 degrees as the height increases. A steel exoskeleton connects the units, and it ultimately stands at 190 meters and 57 stories high.
