List of twisted buildings


Buildings can appear to be twisted by design, where the twisting (torsion, helix, etc.) is structural rather than merely an ornamental detail. CTBUH defines a twisting building as one that progressively rotates its floor plates or its facade as it gains height. There are 15 spiraled skyscrapers and 13 more are under construction.

Turning Torso is regarded as the first twisted tower or building. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and was completed in 2005. When completed, Diamond Tower will be the only building to twist a full 360 degrees along its height. F&F Tower, in Panama City, holds the record for the tightest twist, that is, the highest average rotation per floor, at 5.943 degrees across each of its 53 floors and as of 2017 it is the completed building with highest total rotation, with 315 degrees.

The following list includes completed or topped-out buildings sorted by height. Buildings under construction are shaded in grey.
