		In order to follow the turning of the building, each panel leans either inward (on the west side of the building) or outward (on the east side) from a range of 0 to 7 degrees.

		The Malmö skyline has a new icon: the Turning Torso, completed in four years, is now a prominent landmark in the city of Malmö, Sweden.

		Apart from the aluminium cladding, the most important materials used in the construction are steel, for its inner load-bearing structure, and marble, which contributes to the sculptural effect created by the Turning Torso.

		The title is a reference to a white marble sculpture, by Calatrava, of a human form in motion; in 1999, the five-foot-high work so captivated the building’s developer that he hired Calatrava to stretch the piece into a skyscraper—even though the architect had not yet designed one.
		The Turning Torso literally has a spine, since Calatrava has designed the building with an external steel frame running up one side of it.
		This exoskeleton also connects the Turning Torso to a long tradition of skyscrapers whose form illuminates their structure.
