I was wondering? What's the official height going to be for this tower, 340m or 440m? BTW rising REALLY fast! It's a great design for a tower that deserves its height. :)

I think it had something to do with the foundation construction, the piles have to go deeper, thicker mat, i'm not sure though.

but there is a whole new district under c, right?

will this area around complex fed get more high-rises? not sure

please tell me
this is my fav building in europe and that all-glass pipeline elevator is out of this world

it's not far from city. it is border of central district. there was wasteland before.

IBC is just small part of entire area that going to be redeveloped as new CBD, removing business from historical center, called Big City. IBC is 80 of 1000 hectares.

the off. height will be 340m or 440m?

coth
October 30th, 2005, 01:19 PM
by spire of course. official site says about 432m (342m to roof). but i think height of spire not yet finally decided.

however they call spire as tower C

www.sercan.de
October 30th, 2005, 01:31 PM
so
Federation, Tower A 432m-440m
Federation, Tower B 235m

tower C (spire) - 432m

October 30th, 2005, 02:15 PM

i don't understand it
so i ask
because at emporis its 340m
but for me it doesn't look like a antenna
i was confused why they don't count the spire
maybe it isn't a part of Tower A or B???

"Not the best looking, though." Well, that's matter of opinion. Personally newcastle kid, I think it's going to look fantastic!!

Dubai-Lover
November 6th, 2005, 09:14 PM
it's difficult to say if the spire should be included in the official height or not

i think not, it somehow is part of the structure, but not of the building

but who cares when it's such a great building!


coth - why green? keep it grey/silver, that looks so awesome!!!! :eek:

if not, please but bot not green!!!!

coth
November 6th, 2005, 09:31 PM
this one is architectural spire. surly should be included. and it's not cheating. actually it was 450 meters in original version. have been decreased many times - 445-440-435 and now 432 to make it ideally proportional.


colors is a decision of authorities. luzhkov likes blue transparent. for sure silver matted will looks amazing. well, will see what will be...

This is going to sound stupid (and I know that as I write this), but when I look at the CGI images of this completed building... I don't see a building. How cool is that? For whatever reason, my brain just doesn't associate this with being a building. I think that qualifies this as sweet-ASS.

I really do love this tower very much. I aint going to judge yet but from what i've seen it should be one of the most prestigious buildings in Europe and the world.

Only if London could sort thier supertalls out.

"Bit of a cheat, no?" Answer = no.

"Not the best looking, though." Well, that's matter of opinion. Personally newcastle kid, I think it's going to look fantastic!!

I mean how could anyway say "Not the best looking, tho"?


1. Becuse im able to have my own opinion
2. I like it quite alot, but i dont think it will be best in europe.
Top 5, probably
3. I prefer London's Shard (keep in mind point 2 i made, dont kill me for my comments)

the average temperature in moscow in january is - 7.5 C and in february - 6.7.
while paris has a january average of +4.0 and +4.5 in february. you can say what you want, moscow is probably the coldest capital during the winter time.

-15C isn't really cold. if no wind -15C is moderate temperature.

average temp mean night/day time average temp. here nights usually much colder than day. so -7 means average -10 average nighttime and average -4C daytime.

but actual usual daytime temp in january is -1 - +4.
