Bostad.
It started out as an office building of 25 storeys, but grew into a much debated luxury apartment building of 54 storeys. Most people will have to view this "project of dreams" without ever getting past the concierge.
As a consolation, Sydsvenskan offers you the opportunity to build your own Turning Torso.
Please bear in mind that the files require a high-speed connection.

INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH:
1. Cut out all the parts.

2. Fold the backs of the cubes, A. Note that the fold should be slightly aslant.

3. Glue the backs to the bottoms, B.

4. Glue C, D, and E into rings.

5. Glue the tops, F and G, onto the cubes.

6. Glue ring D onto the bottom of one of the cubes with a G-top. Then glue the ring with cube onto a foundation piece, made of thick paper, about 10 x 10 centimeters in size.

7. Glue the E-rings onto the bottom of the other cubes. Make sure you follow the markings for the circles.

8. Wait for a moment, while the glue dries.

9. Now for the hard part: Glue all the cubes together; start at the bottom and work your way up. Cubes 1, 5, and 9 (from the bottom) should have an F-top. Make sure every cube is in line with the cube underneath it. Don't worry if the construction leans slightly, the H-part will correct that in due time. Use some kind of support in the meantime, for example some books. Let the glue dry a little after connecting each cube.

10. While you wait, glue ring C to J. This will form the top of the house.

11. Now fold the façade part, H, and fasten it to the cubes. Start by glueing it to the top cube, let dry, and then continue down two or three cubes at a time.

12. When everything is dry, fasten the top part, C/J, to the top cube.

13. Glue the ground floor part, K, to the back of the model, and you're done! Place the model in a suitable place and savour the feeling of owning your very own Turning Torso.
