The design of Turning Torso is unique and eye-catching. It was created by a famous architect named Santiago Calatrava. The building is made up of nine cube-shaped sections that twist as they go up. From the bottom to the top, the building turns a full 90 degrees! This design was inspired by a sculpture of a turning human body. The building’s unusual shape makes it stand out in the city’s skyline and has become a symbol of Malmo’s modern architecture.
