5/1/2003: Turning torso architecture
 

http://cellar.org/2003/turningtorso.jpg

This is a model of a building currently being built in Sweden, called "Turning Torso". When it's done it'll be residential, 54 stories high; and it'll twist 90 degrees from the bottom to the top.

(Permanently - it won't suddenly twist in the middle of a big wind storm or anything.)

The structure has its own web site with a ton of details and more photos.

Cool!

I could imagine quite the disorienting elevator ride.

ever seen a squirrel run up a tree?
 

first thing that came to mind for me . . . squirrel would be in seventh heaven going up this building :D

It looks like it has more than 4 sides.:confused:

I imagine that would be so freaky (at least until you got used to it).

I'd wonder how safe it is.

some of those computer generated interior photos are really neat.

Man, I was clicking on everything, trying my hardest to translate. Then I got to the bottom and saw that they had an English version. DOH!

haha Suckers!
I found the link first thing.

I was looking at the new smilies but there is no smiley for shooting yourself in the foot/head or other extremety.
