static vs. dynamic

is the turning torso really turning?

calatrava does a great job designing a purly static structure that appears to be in motion.

Does the St. Mary Axe fit/relates to its context or does it seem as if it just landed from somewhere out of space?

The Hearst Tower is a great example of stereotomic elements vs. tectonic elements. Is the tectonics winning?
