MALMO, Sweden (Aug. 27) - The Nordics' tallest skyscraper was officially opened Saturday with prize-winning Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava surveying the view from the 54th floor.
With its spectacular 90-degree twist, Turning Torso consists of nine stacked cubes, each turned slightly.
The bottom three cubes will be office space and the top six contain 147 luxury apartments. Many residents, who are expected to move to the rented apartments in November, will have a view overlooking either the flat farmland of Skane, Sweden's southernmost province, or the Oresund strait and Denmark.
I hope future HDB are like this too
