BTW, that cladding is way more like copper than gold, but it's still awesome. Compare:

In fact, copper-ish cladding is a pretty bold choice for a building at a far North latitude. Normally you only see lustrous metallic claddings in sunnier locations.

gotta love it. it is so 70's

^Agreed. I love it.

This is currently my favorite building under construction ANYWHERE. (at least with Vashnya Federatsiya basically stalled >_<) with all the other building in MIBC having roughly the same color skins, this one will really stand out, and probably be one of the defining structures in the skyline.

Wow, this is going to be quite the complex when complete!

Like much of Russia, this design look straight out of the early 80's

This complex is badass times 10.

Guiltyspark · #**153** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 5:06 AM**

Hey Russia, 1983 called. They want their tower design back. Seriously though, poor design, unfortunate color choice... I just don't see anything special. And as for the whole complex, it lacks congruity and it does not feel organic at all.

Crush_Buds · #**154** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 7:46 AM**

Looks right out of a comic. I love it.

yarabundi · #**155** Posted **Nov 3, 2011, 4:58 PM**

Like it too !!! Very much !!! Looks like it could fit quite well in Sim City 4 !!! Probably already exists in virtual SC4 !!!

Ehrgeiz91 · #**156** Posted **Nov 6, 2011, 7:53 PM**

Sure it may be a little 80's but I can't help but love the design. Wouldn't look out of place in any futuristic skyline.

SkylineFan · #**157** Posted **Nov 6, 2011, 10:49 PM**

It looks like it is from 1995. LOL!

Dac150 · #**158** Posted **Nov 6, 2011, 11:08 PM**

I don't think Russia ever left the 80's . . . . I really like the tower though, and the complex.

whiteford · #**159** Posted **Nov 13, 2011, 10:24 PM**

Wow!! is that ever beautiful.
