Thumbs up GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN | Karlatornet | 804 FT | 73 FL
I haven't seen this one mentioned; it was a pleasant surprise to me. Feel free to delete if a thread already exists.

This is already under construction, and will be the tallest building in Scandinavia when when completed (currently scheduled for 2022).

Great find, Boisebro. The design reminds me a bit of one of the proposals for San Francisco's Salesforce Tower that was not selected. Do you know what architect?

With the color and that "upward pattern" my brain keeps saying this is a very tall airport control tower.

I'll never understand the European impulse to build a modern/PoMo tower in the middle of an otherwise low-rise city. It never looks good...
