CC MEMO -- TURNING TORSOS II and III

Speaking of new allocations.... This from the ValenciaLife newsletter this morning:

GOING TO LAS VEGAS
It has been revealed that the famous Turning Torso apartment building designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava for the City of Malmo in Sweden, will also be built in the United States. A construction company has expressed an interested in building two Turning Torsos in Las Vegas. These two new towers will be 250 metres high as opposed to the 190 metres of the Malmo building – pictured above. MGM Mirage, who already owns a large number of hotels and casinos, is handling the new project. According to one Swedish newspaper, directors of MGM Mirage have already been in contact with Mr. Calatrava for the project, but his office in Valencia has not yet confirmed that negotiations are under way.

I think most of us who saw the building at Malmo this summer thought it was rather impressive. Valencia's Sr Calatrava is on a roll. Google his name to see the growing list of major projects around the world, to say nothing, as most of you would know, of his various edifices in Valencia.
