3 THINGS YOU HAVE TO VISIT IN MALMÖ

1- The Öresund Bridge

A hub of Scandinavian ingenuity, Malmö boasts some of the most impressive modern structures in Northern Europe. The Öresund Bridge, made world famous thanks to the Swedish-Danish hit television series The Bridge, is an 8 km railway and motorway bridge that runs from Malmö to Copenhagen across the Öresund strait.

2- Emporia

is a shopping moll located in the Hyllie city district of Malmö, Sweden It is one of Scandinavia's biggest shopping malls and is situated next to Malmö Arena and the Hyllie Rail way station. Emporia opened on 25 October 2012 with total construction expenses of about 2 billion Swedish kronor. The architect of the Emporia project is Gert Wingårdh. The building has been decorated with sound design and soundscapes created by Radja Sound Design Agency.[3]

The structure's most distinctive features are two colorful glass-clad entrances inspired by nature—an amber colored entrance pays homage to Sweden's trees and the semi-precious stones produced by their resin and a swirling blue entry that echoes a nearby strait. The serpentine surfaces of the building are jolting, but are also notable achievements in structural engineering.

3- Turning Torso

Built in 2005, the Turning Torso is a skyscraper located in Malmö, Sweden and was designed by the famous structural engineer and architect Santiago Calatrava. It is regarded as the first twisting high-rise building and has inspired other twisting buildings such as the Shanghai Tower (which is currently the second tallest building in the world).

The design of the skyscraper was inspired by a sculpture by Calatrava based on the movement of the human torso, hence the name of the building. The 59-story building is 190m tall and composed of 9 box units called modules, each one consisting of 5 stories. Between each module, you have an empty floor, which creates the illusion of floating modules. One of the most distinctive aspects of the building is that it has a steel exoskeleton, something most buildings do not have. To fully appreciate the uniqueness of this building, first, we need to understand how the loads move through a building and what elements resist them. There are two main types of loads that a building will typically deal with: vertical and horizontal loads.
