CYPRUS MARINA FEATURES TWISTING TOWERS
A pair of 100-m-tall twisting towers housing approximately 190 apartments are part of the Ayia Napa Marina being developed by Cypriot entrepreneur Gerasimos Caramondanis and Egyptian investor Naguib Sawiris on the southeast coast of Cyprus, "at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa," World Architecture News reports. Under construction now and scheduled for completion in 2021, the project was designed by SmithGroupJJR of the U.S. The towers rotate west to east, twisting approximately 1.6˚ per floor, and provide views of the Mediterranean coastline.

STM FOCUSES ON ACCESSIBILITY WITH NEW ELEVATORS
Société de transport de Montréal (STM) plans to have nearly half, or 31, of its metro stations equipped with elevators by 2022, as it faces pressure from a limited-mobility group in the form of a class-action lawsuit, CTV Montreal reports. Stressing that accessibility is of utmost importance, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre says installation of 14 units is underway, and additional stations have been placed on a revised list to receive elevators as budget permits. The Rosemont station is in the process of getting elevators now. Limited-mobility advocates applauded the move but want the city to commit to a firm timeline.
