This is the very first thing you notice about Malmo, Sweden.  Years ago, I flew into Copenhagen, which is across a body of water.  As we were driving over a bridge, I saw this beauty rising up into the sky.

It’s by far the tallest building in Malmo, and it defines the city well.  It is the cleanest city I’ve ever seen, and its a bit quirky.  I love how it creates an illusion that makes it look thinner at the bottom than the top.  Apparently it’s a residential building, which makes it my dream home.  Really, though, it transforms the whole look of the city, which would be quite forgettable architecturally otherwise.
