An överraskning indeed, and a very unpleasant one at that! :eek: That would certainly be a low blow! :(

Interesting! Well it's not original to build the same looking buildings around the world but the idea is very original! TT could come some sort of a trademark of different cities or something. I don't think that's a bad idea. But I can understand that people from Malmö especially don't think it's a good idea :)

You had something similar with twin towers - when they appeared in NY, in lots of other places tall twins were built.

The ones in Valencia are not copies of TT although the idea is approximately the same.

The "Turning Torso" in New York is the 80 South Street, rendering:

TT (the original) looks better than that!

If they're calling 80 South st. a TT copy then I have no fear of the spanish ones being actual Copies either. Sure, there's a certain familiarity between TT and 80Sst, but they look way more diffrent than most boxes do from eachother.
/not worried at all.

Nothing will beat the original TT in the nearest future :ohno: :)

aleast we can brag about having the first TT ;)

Here you have some pics of Valencia's ones. As you can see they have different shapes.

You can't beat the original one you know...;)

those in Valencia are nice too :eek:

The original stands in my town and these projects are cool, cause they will surely attract attention to Malmö!

One thing: Calatrava wasn't enthusiastic at all when HSB wanted him to make a skyscraper of his sculpture "Twistin Torso". It seems like he changed his mind!
