Moore Ruble Yudell partnered with the Swedish firm of SWECO FFNS to design a project called Tango as their contribution to the 2001 housing exposition in Malmö, Sweden. The name was inspired by the brilliant hues and dynamic body language used in the project. Eight vibrantly colored steel and glass towers dance around a landscaped courtyard, exposing most of the living rooms to the outdoors, with a wall of bedrooms wrapped around three sides of the block. Each of the 27 apartments has a unique character, the block is self-sufficient in terms of energy, and everything from heating to door locks can be individually controlled from a computer keyboard. This volume brings the Tango project to life through bright color photography, technical drawings, and lively text.

Tango won the Best Housing Project of the Year award in Sweden, as well as a National Honor Award from the AIA, a Merit Award from the AIA California Council, an Excellence on the Waterfront Award, and was also featured at the Swedish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
