My favorite building it´s called Turning Torso, it a huge residencial building of over 190mts high.
I´ts located in Malmö, Sweden.
One of the things that I love about it is it’s shape, suppostly based on a human torso (like it’s name), the structure it’s turned like a spring, every floor has a different angle so it looks like it’s been rotated in 90 degrees.
It was made by Satiango Calatrava, a spanish architect on august 27 of 2005, it took 4 years to build (a really long time).
The style it´s totaly modern, and it´s made out of steel, glass and concrete, it has 9 turning cubes along a central structure.

Looks like a frozen tornado! Very impressive.
Santiago calatrava for mi, with renzo Piano, are the most great
architects of the last part of the XX century!
Yes, looks like a frozen tornado, i see a similar project from two teachers from the FAU, a great big "trap fog" for give fresh water to the people from the nord.
