  2. Bob says:

    A pipe reamer, a sharp-edged Freudian thing, an expression of violent impulses toward women.

  3. Juan says:

    Not as elegant as the "twisting torso", in my opinion, but still a marvel.

  4. amsam says:

    It’s like a sea shell.

  5. fei says:

    Inspiring, spiky and very cool. It does look better than Norman Forster’s Gherkin (Swiss bank in London) but I’m still wondering what kind logic was propelling Calatrava to design it in this form?
