I'm moving to Sweden.

Architecture is one of the arts, no? If not I apologize and ask the mods to move this where it belongs.

The Turning Torso skyscraper just opened. You can catch the official website (including an English translation) here.

Is this not the coolest residential building ever? I want to rent an apartment there. Better, I want to rent an apartment across the street so I can look at it.

Yes, architecture is art.

And the building is way beyond cool!

And unless you are filthy rich, I doubt you could afford to live there.

There are better reasons to move to Sweden...

/I probably wouldn't.

I don't know what Architecture is. It gets on my nerves. So do architects. In Greece every failed architect opens a restaurant.

I find such comments really interesting. It demonstrates how different people think and I find this fascinating. When I saw the tower at the news I found it horrible and I was wondering why people violate their vision with such monstrous buildings. It's impressive yes but how many times can you see this building? I bet that after people seing it for 10 days they will hate it.BUT I find your approach interesting. I will try to look at it with your eyes.

There is a German saying, "Wer nichts wird, wird Wirt" - roughly, "if you fail at everything else, open a restaurant"...

I will quote you.

It's funny though because the restaurant business is one of the hardest ones.
