For those of you who missed it, a huge new skyscraper is planned for Moscow. It will be one of the world's tallest buildings at about 1476 ft (around 450 meters) and looks fantastic.

Introducing...Crystal Island.

Don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house.

Um lol, It's not going to happen. Just a wild guess.

The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

While I generally think glass is overrated as a building material... This tower looks pretty damn cool. I think it's nice to see whatever architects planned this structure actually let natural/geometric forms come through instead of designing an eyesore.

They could like make a super concentrate of it and put it in a firetruck and spray the whole thing. Thats what I would do anyways.
