NEW YORK og ZÜRICH, August 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Det er 10 år, siden Calatravas banebrydende, 57-etagers skyskraber åbnede i den svenske by Malmö, og Rådet for Høje Bygninger og Urban Habitat (CTBUH) hædrer Turning Torso som en international seværdighed for sit bidrag til urbant design 

Som en abstraktion af den menneskelige skikkelse roterer Turning Torso kontinuert 90 grader, mens den vokser i højden som en torso, der drejer om sin rygsøjle 

Rådet for Høje Bygninger og Urban Habitat (CTBUH) tildelte Santiago Calatravas Turning Torso-bygning sin prestigefyldte "10-års pris". HSB Malmö gav Calatrava til opgave at designe tårnet, der blev fuldført i 2005, for at hjælpe med at omdanne det forfaldne industriområde til et nyt område med boliger, forretninger, kultur og forlystelser i Malmö, Sverige. Denne internationale pris anerkender værdien af Turning Tower, dets bidrag til kultur og urbane ikonografi, dets sociale rolle og dets tekniske udvikling ti år efter dets indvielse.

"Som ikonisk, forbløffende og inspirerende har den usædvanlige bygning haft stor indflydelse på vores industri og har tilføjet et unikt vartegn til Malmös skyline . . . Efter at dette projekt blev annonceret for 15 år siden, er arkitekter verden over blevet inspireret", sagde Vincent Tse, bestyrelsesmedlem i CTBUH, medlem af den tekniske bedømmelseskomité i CTBUH og administrerende direktør i Parsons Brinckerhoff, Building MEP China Region. "I dag er der mere end 30 tårne, der snor sig opad . . . Når vi ser tilbage på innovationer i løbet af det seneste årti, har få haft en blivende slagkraft og indflydelse som Turning Torso."

Turning Torso er den første skyskraber i verden, som snor sig. Den er også en af de højeste bygninger i Europa med 57 etager og 190 meters højde.  Turning Torso er Calatravas første høje bygning og blev inspireret af hans hvide marmorskulptur, der fremkalder abstraktionen om den menneskelige skikkelse, hvor mange terninger drejer sig om en lodret akse som en torso, der vrider sig om sin rygsøjle. Bygningens femkantssektioner roterer 90 grader, efterhånden som den vokser i højden og danner sin kurvede form. Et udvendigt stålskelet, der ligner en rygsøjle, som snor sig opad med strukturen, forbinder disse enheder. Bygningens to nederste sektioner er forbeholdt kontorfunktioner, mens de øverste syv sektioner indeholder i alt 147 boligblokke, hvor hver etage rummer én til fem lejligheder.

CTBUH hædrer også Turning Torso for dens banebrydende, bæredygtige design og for dens udførelse af miljørigtig industristandarder, der er langt forud for deres tid. Et hunderede procent af den energi, der forbruges i bygningen, kommer fra vedvarende kilder, herunder geotermisk, vand-, sol- og vindenergi. Hver enhed har elmålere, der på ethvert tidspunkt giver beboerne mulighed for at foretage beslutninger på oplyst grundlag om deres energiforbrug. Endvidere har hver enhed en affaldsenhed til organisk affald, som er tilsluttet en rørledning, der fører til et kommunalt biogasanlæg, der omdanner materialet til energi.

Prisen vil blive overrakt den 12. november ved CTBUH's 14. årlige pristildelingssymposium i Chicago i Crown Hall - bygningsvartegnet, tegnet af Ludwig Mies van der Rohe til Illinois Institute of Technology og School of Architecture. Tidligere vindere af 10-års prisen omfatter Bonn, Tysklands Posttårn i 2014, og Londons 30 St. Mary Axe i 2013.

Dette projekt vil blive portrætteret i bogen Best Tall Buildings, der udgives i samarbejde med Images Publishing og hvert år distribueres internationalt.
