The Turning Torso is a new landmark in Malmö, Sweden. It’s a tall, twisted building that looks different from every angle. Many people are amazed by its unusual design.
The building shows creativity and bravery. It’s very different from typical Swedish architecture, which is often described as ”lagom” (just right, not too much or too little).
The local press wrote a lot about the Turning Torso, especially its high cost. It also got international attention.
The building stands out in Malmö. It’s much taller than other buildings and has a unique shape. Some people like it, while others don’t. Many Malmö residents are now proud to show it to visitors.
When walking in the Western Harbor area of Malmö, you can’t help but look up at the Turning Torso. It’s an eye-catching sight.
People wondered why such a tall, twisted building was built in Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city with about 320,000 people. Malmö is mostly flat with buildings usually 4-6 floors high. The only other tall building before was Kronprinsen (26 floors).
Critics said the twisted shape made the building more difficult and expensive to build. However, it’s now a normal part of the city, though still stunning.
The Turning Torso always gets a reaction from people. Perhaps that’s exactly what it was meant to do.
