Majdoul Tower

I couldn’t resist another picture or two of the Majdoul "Twisting" Tower, which has come a long way since I last photographed it. The architect is Zeidler Partnership Associates, based in Toronto. It’s impossible to straighten, so “twisting” really does describe it here.

Superb Architecture. Looks like Calatrava's "turning torso" in Malmö (Sweden). V.

I like Julie's comment. Not only does this twist, but it looks like it also leans. Great shot
of this unique architecture, Helen.
