Water Towers
Haninge is a municipality about 40 kilometres south of Stockholm (Sweden) which consists of over 3,600 inhabited and uninhabited islands. Previously an industrial area, the area is undergoing a rapid transformation into a residential suburb thanks to its excellent transport links to the centre of Stockholm.

Copenhagen aquarium "The Blue Planet"
Inspired “by the shape of water in endless motion”, Denmark’s new national aquarium, the Blue Planet, is northern Europe’s largest and most modern.
The whirlpool concept on which this unusual edifice originates is, according to Copenhagen-based architectural practice 3XN: “in a narrative about water, and as an image, is at once both abstract and figurative”. The practice also cites shoals of fish and swirling starlings for influencing the vortex-like form of the building.
