高楼和城市之间心理上的关系

The Psychological Relationship Between a Tall Building and a City

2002年时,在起源于11世纪的城市建造一座高楼大厦是个挑战。当这个项目启动时,马尔默市的情况很糟糕。多年来我们一直依赖我们著名的造船业、重工业、汽车制造业和其它重型行业。在1987年,当造船业倒闭时,城市的恶化开始了。幸运的是,在我们的市政府工作的是一些远见卓识的政客。他们意识到整个城市必须从工业型城市向知识型城市转变。同时HSB Malmo公司正在扩张,并在寻求开发新的土地。马尔默市成立了一个新大学、一个新工业,并开发智能手机、计算机游戏。但是,这个新平台必须被市民们接受。Turning Torso大楼就是问题的答案–一个全新的标志。

Building a tall building in 2002 in a city that has its roots in the 11 th century was a challenge. At the time this project started, the city of Malm？ was in bad shape. For years, it had leaned upon it famous shipyard, heavy industries, car manufacturers, and related activities. When the shipyard closed in 1987 the deterioration began. Luckily the city had some far-sighted and visionary politicians in city hall. They realized that the city must evolve from an industrial-based city to a knowledge-based city. At the same time, HSB Malm？ was expanding and looking for new land areas to explore. The city got a new university and a new industry developing smart phones and computer games. This new platform, however, had to be accepted by the citizens. The Turning Torso was the answer for that – a new icon.
