 INTRODUCING
Design Philosophy
This building is designed by the Spanish
architect Santiago Calatrava. The design
philosphy is based on twisting human
spine, in which the original sculpture of
Turning Torso, seven cubes are set around a
steel support to produce a spiral structure.
Client Requirments
Clients will have an apartment which has
unique layouts depending on their
position in the building, The living rooms
are large and open, often with views in
two directions, The impression of light
and space is reinforced by the elevated
ceiling in the livingrooms .
 SITE
Environmental concern : Site Potentials :
The building is located in The tower is located west

facilities for leisure and
shops close to downtown
and the beach
Ribeirsburk.

Located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, Scandinavia.

Typology Vernacular :
The Tower is not only expresses the concept of geometric characteristic, but also on technology
and advanced technology, it is constructed of steel, glass and concrete, and is structured in nine
cubes rotational structure is the main key element of reinforced concrete, and the center of the
building which correspond exactly with the axis of rotation of floors,The outer shell of the
building is made of panels of glass and aluminum. Characterized by dynamically tested in the
wind room at the University of Western Ontario in Canada. The drum major central structures
that are connected by a horizontal Kabuli contain lifts, technological systems and services.
CONCEPT

Bentuk desain dari Turning Torso Tower ini mengambil

analogi dari pergerakan tubuh manusia, yaitu bentuk tulang
belakang yang dipilin. Bentuk seperti ini didapatkan dari
proses pembelajaran sketsa dan model yang dilakukan oleh
Calatrava. Pada tahap awal pembelajaran model, beberapa
balok persegi disusun sedemikian rupa di sekitar baja
penopang untuk menemukan wujud spiral yang mendekati
bentuk tulang belakang manusia yang dipilin. Melalui
pembelajaran model ini Calatrava juga mengeksplorasi
mengenai keterbangunannya, yakni pembelajaran tentang
‘movement’ dan ‘structure’, dengan menggunakan sketsa
dan model yang membentk sebuah struktur.
Struktur ini kemudian dituangkan ke dalam bentuk sketsa
dan model sebagai cara pengekplorasian bagaimana cara
struktur itu bekerja dan tersusun dari bagian-bagian apa
saja hingga akhirnya menjadi sebuah bentuk objek
bangunan. Morphogenetic yang dimaksud di sini dapat
diartikan sama dengan pengertian dari morfologi. Melalui
morfologi ini Calatrava mengakomodasi pergerakan
dengan struktur tersebut.
Based on the sculpture, “Twisting Torso” exploring the human body in
motion, twisting as far as it can naturally being pushed while staying
directly upright.

Form is made up of
9 cubes, each
individual cube
containing five
stories.

FUNCTION IN ARCHITECTURE

FUNGSI ORGANIS

Kayra arsitektur ini memiliki fungsi organis, dimana proses

perancangan dan desainnya dipengaruhi oleh anatomi tubuh
manusia.

Karya arsitektur tidak hanya fungsional tetapi juga organis (bentuk

terinspirasi dari kehidupan yang alamiah), dimana bentuk dan fungsi
identik, karya arsitektur berwawasan lingkungan, bentuk terinspirasi
fenomena alam dan penggalian gagasan dari mahluk hidup, fungsi
bangunan adalah aktifitas yang menciptaka bentuk, sehingga bentuk
adalah fungsi dari keseluruhan.

Core
 STRUCTURE
Each floor consists of a square
section around the core and a
triangular part supported by an
external steel structure.

The central core is supported by

a foundation slab.

The corner of each floor is a

concrete column supported by a
pile foundation.
SLAB
The structural slab is fitted
around the core.

The forms for the structural slab are

triangular shapes, together forming
a floor.

The forms were rotated 1.6 degrees

for each floor in order to create the
characteristic twist of the building.

CORE
The core is the main load-
bearing structure.

Large concrete pipe, with an

inner diameter of 35ft.

The walls are 8ft. Thick at

the bottom, gradually
shifting to 1ft. thick at the
top.

The elevator shafts and

staircases are located inside
the core.
SPINE FOUNDATION
The steel support is located on the exterior of
the building, which is linked together by the
spine, acting as the loading backbone from the
winds.

The steel support transfers shear forces to the

supporting concrete core.

Each steel section of the spine has to fit precisely

in the one below it.

The system consists of a

spine column at the corner
of each floor plus
horizontal and diagonal
elements that reach to
each side of the glazed
spine.

Stabilizers also connect the

floor slabs with the
framework.

The tower rests on piles driven into a

foundation of solid limestone bedrock at
49ft. below ground level.

Avoids unacceptable bending or swaying.

DEFLECTION AXIAL

SHEAR MOMENT
WIND LOADS

The twisted form can be very

effective, alleviating the effects
of vortex-shedding induced by
lateral wind loads and
minimizing the wind loads from
prevailing direction.
When analyzing the structure
under wind loads, Calatrava
found that the Turning Torso
could move up to 3ft. at the top
during the most severe storm.

Giant pins attached to the

ground were then
implemented, decreasing the
movement to less than a foot
during the most severe storm,
which is nearly unnoticeable.
FA C A D E
•facade is a glass and aluminum construction

•2,800 panels and 2,250 windows

•Follow the twist of the building, the windows are

leaning either inwards or outwards by 0 to 7
degrees.

FLOORS
Forms for the floors were rotated approx. 1.6
degrees for each floor in order to create the
characteristic twist of the building.
