Absolute Towers, Mississauga

MAD Architects' Absolute Towers in Mississauga, Canada (2012) — nicknamed "Marilyn Monroe" by locals for their curvaceous rotating balconies — are two residential towers that rotate 8 degrees per floor, creating a continuously twisting form. The balconies encircle the entire perimeter of each floor, providing 360-degree panoramic views and creating a rippling sculptural surface of extraordinary elegance.
