Q666 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 check this out, its crazy http://whatheck.net/index.php/component/content/article/50-architecture/65-crystal-island.html Crystal Island is a name for one of the world's biggest building projects that has been officially granted for building in Moscow on the peninsula between Moscow River and Andropov Avenue. It will be 450m high, covering a floor area of 2.5 million square meters and near half a million square meters. The cost of building Crystal Island will sum $4 billions. The Crystal Island is not just an unusual huge building, it is a building-city. How comes? Well if you take the fact that this building will host about 3000 hotel rooms, about 900 serviced apartments, a school, exhibition spaces, theaters, retail and catering businesses, two public viewing platforms, at 150 meters and 300 meters, it's not just a building anymore. It's small city. The exterior facade will use solar responsive panels which, along with wind turbines, will generate electricity for the huge tower. Natural ventilation will be provided thanks to numerous strategically placed large atriums. more pics and info at the link http://whatheck.net/index.php/component/content/article/50-architecture/65-crystal-island.html shit is nuts, a whole city contained indoors... dunno bout u but that would drive me insane. i wouldnt want to live there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM4RT Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 The Burj Dubai in Dubai UAE. when its finished it will be 800m (2624feet). the offical final height is still a secret, because they dont want competing buildings to beat it. and its apparently its being constructed such that they can make it even taller, just to beat the competitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
