Twisted Shell Member Analysis

Turning Torso is based on a sculpture by Calatrava, called Twisting Torso,

which is a white marble piece based on the form of a twisting human being.

In 1999, HSB Malmö's former managing director, Johnny Ö rbäck, saw the
sculpture in a brochure presenting Calatrava in connection with his
contribution to the architectural competition for the Ö resund Bridge. It was on
this occasion that Ö rbäck was inspired to build HSB Turning Torso. Shortly
afterwards he travelled to Zurich to meet Calatrava, and ask him to design a
residential building based on the idea of a structure of twisting cubes.

Curved Surface Shape Analysis

In its geometric essence, shape from texture is a cue to 3D shape

very similar to binocular stereopsis and structure from motion.

All of these cues are based on the information available in

multiple perspective views of the same surface in the scene.

In binocular stereopsis, the two eyes get slightly different views

of the same surface; in structure from motion, the relative motion
of the observer and the surface generates the different views.

 Refinery Frame
Auto Generate Drawing Data

An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process

plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more
useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline,
diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene and
liquefied petroleum gas.

Oil refineries are typically large, sprawling industrial

complexes with extensive piping running throughout,
carrying streams of fluids between large chemical
processing units.

In many ways, oil refineries use much of the technology of,

and can be thought of, as types of chemical plants. The
crude oil feedstock has typically been processed by an oil
production plant.

There is usually an oil depot (tank farm) at or near an oil

refinery for the storage of incoming crude oil feedstock as
well as bulk liquid products.
 Ball Tank
Structural Analysis for Spherical Shape

This type of storage vessel is preferred for storage of high

pressure fluids. A sphere is a very strong structure. The
even distribution of stresses on the sphere's surfaces, both
internally and externally, generally means that there are no
weak points. Spheres however, are much more costly to
manufacture than cylindrical or rectangular vessels.

Storage Spheres need ancillary equipment similar to tank

storage - e.g. Access manholes, Safety valves, Access
ladders, Earthing points .. etc.

An advantage of spherical storage vessels is, that they

have a smaller surface area per unit volume than any other
shape of vessel. This means, that the quantity of heat
transferred from warmer surroundings to the liquid in the
sphere, will be less than that for cylindrical or rectangular
storage vessels.
