View Full Version : More Torsos? lofgren November 19th, 2004, 01:23 AM Edited Monkey November 19th, 2004, 04:58 AM An överraskning indeed, and a very unpleasant one at that! :eek: That would certainly be a low blow! :( grendy November 19th, 2004, 09:20 AM 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 :) LatvianGG November 19th, 2004, 09:59 AM You had something similar with twin towers - when they appeared in NY, in lots of other places tall twins were built. Gatis November 19th, 2004, 11:47 AM The ones in Valencia are not copies of TT although the idea is approximately the same. AtlanticaC5 November 19th, 2004, 02:17 PM The "Turning Torso" in New York is the 80 South Street, rendering: http://www.sciame.com/assets/images/80towernew.gif NorthStar77 November 19th, 2004, 02:20 PM TT (the original) looks better than that! Swede November 20th, 2004, 01:16 AM 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. Mantas November 20th, 2004, 10:34 AM Nothing will beat the original TT in the nearest future :ohno: :) wolkenkrabber November 20th, 2004, 05:05 PM aleast we can brag about having the first TT ;) aCidMinD81 November 21st, 2004, 07:07 AM Here you have some pics of Valencia's ones. As you can see they have different shapes. http://www.iespana.es/acidmind81/rascacielos-CAC.jpg http://www.iespana.es/acidmind81/rascacielos-CAC2.jpg http://www.iespana.es/acidmind81/rascacielos-CAC3.jpg Estboy November 21st, 2004, 09:22 AM You can't beat the original one you know...;) Mantas November 21st, 2004, 10:05 AM those in Valencia are nice too :eek: Nightsky November 25th, 2004, 03:07 PM 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! |
