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

10 år etter at Calatravas banebrytende 57-etasjers skyskraper åpnet i Malmö i Sverige, har CTBUH anerkjent Turning Torso som verdenslandemerke for sitt bidrag til bymessig design 

Turning Torso dreier kontinuerlig 90 grader som en abstraksjon av den menneskelige figuren og vokser samtidig i høyden som en overkropp som dreier rundt sin egen akse 

Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) har tildelt Santiago Calatrava den prestisjefylte utmerkelsen "10 Year Award" for sin bygning Turning Torso. HSB Malmö valgte Calatrava for å designe tårnet som ble fullført i 2005. Tårnet skulle bidra til å omforme et industriområde i nedgang til et nytt nabolag av boliger, forretninger, kultur og underholdning i Malmö i Sverige. Denne internasjonale utmerkelsen påskjønner Turning Tower for sin verdi som et tilskudd til kultur og urban ikonografi, den sosiale rollen og den tekniske utviklingen ti år etter åpningen.

"Denne uvanlig bygningen er ikonisk, forbløffende og inspirerende, og har hatt en sterk innflytelse på industrien vår og har bidratt med et unikt tilskudd til Malmøs skyline. Fra annonseringen av dette prosjektet for 15 år siden har arkitekter i hele verden blitt inspirert", sier Vincent Tse som er talsmann for CTBUH, jurymedlem i komiteen for CTBUH Technical Awards og administrerende direktør for Parsons Brinckerhoff, Building MEP i Kina-regionen. "I dag finnes det mer enn 30 tårn som dreier seg oppover . . . Når vi ser tilbake på nyvinningene i det siste tiåret, er det få som har hatt en så varig effekt og innflytelse som Turning Torso."

Turning Torso er den første skyskraperen i verden som dreier seg rundt. Den er også en av de høyeste bygningene i Europa med sin 57 etasjer og en høyde på 623 fot.  Turning Torso er Calatravas første høyreiste bygning og var inspirert av hans hvite marmorskulpturer som minnet om abstraksjoner av den menneskelige figuren, hvor flere kuber dreier seg rundt en vertikal akse som en torso som dreier seg rundt en ryggrad. Bygningens ni femkantede seksjoner dreier 90 grader samtidig som den øker i høyden og danner bygningens kurveform. Et ytre skjelett i stål som ligner en ryggrad, dreier seg oppover med strukturen og binder disse enheten sammen. De to laveste seksjonene i bygningen er dedikert for kontorfunksjoner, mens de sju øvre seksjonene inneholder totalt 147 boliger, og hver av etasjene inneholder en til fem leiligheter.

CTBUH anerkjente også Turning Torso for sin banebrytende bærekraftige design and for sin bruk av bærekraftige industristandarder langt forut for sin tid. Hundre prosent av energien som forbrukes i bygningen, kommer fra fornybare kilder, inkludert jordvarme, vann, sol og vind. Hver enhet har sine egne målere for elektrisitet, noe som gjør at beboerne kan gjøre mer begrunnede valg med hensyn til den energimengden de bruker til enhver tid. Dessuten har hver enhet en avfallsenhet for organisk avfall som er koblet til rekke rør fram til et kommunalt biogassanlegg, og som omdanner materialet til energi.

Utmerkelsen vil bli overlevert 12. november ved det 14. årlige CTBUH Award-symposiet i Chicago i Crown Hall, landemerkebygningen som er designet av Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Illinois Institute of Technology og School of Architecture. Tidligere vinnere av 10 Year Award er blant andre Post Tower i Bonn, Tyskland i 2014 og Londons 30 St. Mary Axe i 2013.

Dette prosjektet vil bli presentert i boken Best Tall Buildings, som publiseres i samarbeid med Images Publishing, og distribueres internasjonalt hvert år.
