Bahh, I dont know if I like that. Too jarring. There is about 60 years of architectural history missing, they're jumping too far ahead.

^That's wild!

[wolfdawg54]

Wow. I saw that on Emporis. Are they actually going to build it or is it more of a vision?

[Spartan]

Its more of a vision. I would be suprised if half that gets bulit. But hey, prove me wrong

yes that is getting build and there are more towers going up and by 2012, it will be different

The Russian government shouldn't allow such tall buildings - they ruin the skyline! IF they wanted tall buildnings it should be somewhere far away.

Looks great!!!!

I really like it, yet hopefully, none of the old structures is destroyed for its constructions. That would be a real shame.

absolutly true! The skyscrapers will ruin centuries-old Kremlin's panorama!

But quite the contrary, the Moscow government keeps on killing old Moscow - demolishing old lowstoreyed buildings and realizing the absurd architectural projects. They don't think about city's past and future, only 'bout their own "future". The developers & investors bribes these bureaucrats in order to get a fantastical profit. Sad but true....

P.P.S.

"The $12 billion Moskva-City project is emblematic of Moscow's new construction boom and is comparable in size and scale to London's Docklands development" - for more info see here
