Tall Building: Russia Tower

By John de Guzman on November 12, 2008 6:00 PM | | Comments (2) | | | |
I'm way into big buildings.  They do a lot more for a city's character and future than most people recognize.  So, I think it's HAWTaction [hot ak-shuhn] to keep tabs on new projects like the Russia Tower, Anara Tower, Okhta Tower, Nakheel Harbour and Tower, Bahrain WTC, Honeycomb Skyscraper, Burj Dubai... in Dubai... in Pictures, CCTV and TVCC Towers, Tokyo Sky Tree, Burj Dubai (Revisited), Dancing Towers, Dynamic Tower, Dubai Towers, The Lighthouse (Paris), The Lighthouse (Dubai), Antilla, London's Super Tower, Eiffel Tower, Shuffle Tower, Full Moon, Caspian Bay, Chicago Spire, Chicago's Aqua Tower, Infinity Tower, Teardrop, Christmas Tree or the Burj Dubai.

Russia has come up in Tall Buildings twice before: Christmas Tree and Okhta Tower.  They seem to have the most money to play with if you ignore Dubai's building bonanza.  September, 2007, ground broke on a structure simply called: Russia Tower.

As I promised, this installment of Tall Building is not in Dubai or Chicago.  In fact, I've got two of 'em for you.  Enjoy.

The Teardrop, coming 2016.  South Korea.

Korea's Yongsan.jpgSeoul is throwing $31 billion (yes, that's a lot of money) into its Yongsan business district to build... well... the future.  Essentially, in 8 years, this part of Seoul will look like a sci fi set.  Details on the complex are sparse, but I count over 20 buildings crouching under the giant teardrop that will hit 152 stories and be one of the tallest buildings in the world.  There are no names for the buildings, yet, but the big one's been nicknamed "The Teardrop," which seems appropriate.  That is some skyline.  My lordie.  Get the bulldozers over there already.
