==Design==
Turning Torso is based on ''Twisting Torso'', a white marble sculpture by Calatrava that was based on the form of a twisting human being.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Miller |first1=Meg |title=Charting The Rise Of A New Trend In Skyscraper Design |url=https://www.fastcodesign.com/3063156/behind-the-rise-of-the-latest-trend-in-skyscraper-design |access-date=26 August 2016 |work=Fastcodesign |date=25 August 2016}}</ref>

In 1999, [[HSB (Sweden)|HSB]] Malmö's former managing director, [[Johnny Örbäck]], saw the sculpture in a brochure presenting Calatrava in connection with his contribution to the architectural competition for the [[Öresund Bridge]]. It was on this occasion that Örbäck was inspired to build HSB Turning Torso. Shortly afterwards he travelled to Zurich to meet Calatrava, and ask him to design a residential building based on the idea of a structure of twisting cubes.<ref name=HSB>{{cite web |title=HSB Website |url=http://www.hsb.se/malmo/turningtorso/in-english|publisher=HSB Website |access-date=7 August 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927010438/http://www.hsb.se/malmo/turningtorso/in-english |archive-date=27 September 2011}}</ref><ref name="Svensson2023">{{cite web | last=Svensson | first=Julia | title=Turning Torso – en 18-åring som kan anklagas för mycket | website=Sydsvenskan | date=2023-08-26 | url=https://www.sydsvenskan.se/2023-08-26/turning-torso-en-18-aring-som-kan-anklagas-for-mycket | language=sv | access-date=2024-02-02}}</ref>

It is a solid, immobile building constructed in nine segments of five-story pentagons that twist relative to each other as it rises; the topmost segment is twisted 90 degrees clockwise from the ground floor. Each floor consists of an irregular [[pentagon]]al shape rotating around the vertical core, which is supported by an exterior steel framework. The two bottom segments are intended as office space. Segments three to nine house 147 rental apartments.<ref name="Nyheter2015">{{cite news | last=Nyheter | first=SVT | title=Minns du när Turning Torso invigdes? | website=SVT Nyheter | date=2015-09-01 | url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/skane/minns-du-nar-turning-torso-invigdes | language=sv | access-date=2024-02-02}}</ref><ref name="NCC">{{cite web | title=Turning Torso, Malmö | website=NCC | url=https://www.ncc.se/vara-projekt/turning-torso/ | language=sv | access-date=2024-02-02}}</ref>
