Artist Statement:

Russia Tower is the tallest building in Europe. It is a striking new addition to the dynamic high-rise skyline of Moscow. The 600-meter building continues the firm’s investigation into the nature of the tower, taking structural, functional, environmental and urban logic to a new dimension. The mixed-use project incorporates apartments, hotel, office, and leisure space, and it will have an “energy cycle” that pioneers sustainable architecture and reinforces the economic and social vitality of Moscow.
