I'm very thrilled about what's going on in Astana, such a vibrant city with so many new things being built.
Congratulations!!!

Victhor August 6th, 2007, 08:58 PM The one in the right looks exactly like the Freedom Tower of New York!

LOL! I know it's all very premature at this point, but I was trying to prove exactly the same point over in KZ forum.
Skyman August 7th, 2007, 05:45 AM Cool stuff and all in one line

The complex planned right on a riverfront, so such placement indeed makes a lot of sense.
SA BOY August 7th, 2007, 07:58 AM Borat towers?
splashmo August 7th, 2007, 09:00 AM Just awesome to have them all lined up like that.
Elite August 7th, 2007, 12:45 PM As borat would say: Very Nice!
SkyBridge August 7th, 2007, 03:06 PM Impressive heights and amount of towers, but the designs are VERY uninspired if you ask me. They could've been in any city in the world, no identity of their own. Aren't there local architectural offices that could've come up with seven different, original towers?

Bazis is a local company. I believe they did the design part too.

i thought absolutely the same :lol:

Then they have no originality whatsoever. With such a unique project, you would've expected more.

Well, would you like me to agree with you? I absolutely could, although Bazis has done projects internationally, in Kiev, Riga, Toronto, and it never disappointed. But we will just have to see how it goes later in the year, because judging by their previous experience, I'm sure they will pull it off!
KB August 7th, 2007, 05:35 PM Amazing !!
:applause:
Cidade_Branca August 8th, 2007, 05:24 PM Hey... a tower like new york!!!
Chad August 8th, 2007, 07:39 PM Extraordinary!
Looks almost similar to the new WTC!
cichus1 August 8th, 2007, 08:01 PM especially the tower first to the right
Major Deegan August 8th, 2007, 08:09 PM I'm glad you're getting a kick out of it.

Brasil Guy August 9th, 2007, 03:30 AM Very nice! The shapes were benchmarked from other skyscrapers around the world, even though, I like how they look together
chinatown August 9th, 2007, 03:58 AM they borrowed other designed lol
Major Deegan August 9th, 2007, 04:08 AM dj21
I fail to see how the shape of your towers is unique.
Galactica August 10th, 2007, 08:40 PM Great project.
Phobos August 12th, 2007, 10:38 PM The complex is nice and most of the towers(the ones wich are not a copy of other ones) have a pretty shape.However,they could redesign the " Borat Freedom Tower" to make the flagship building look more unique and original.
Sentient Seas August 13th, 2007, 10:29 AM Damn, I like the looks of these towers! Great project indeed.
Moren-o August 16th, 2007, 02:21 PM Tacky Freedom Tower rip-off!
One of those would have been ok.
But 7 of them in a row is just ridiculous.

Come on man.
Look at the base where all the towers are standing on.
They seem to connect all of the buildings, but it doesn't look integrated.
It's just not thought through.
The cladding reminds me of the background of the box of videocassettes you had in the 80's.
I'm sorry but it seems like architects in Astana just copy other design and build a cheesy clone.
