So now St Petersburg is finally starting to build skycrapers, just like Mosocow... Very cool design! Great height!

Is there any chance that it will get built?

The top bit, is that open air with just a metallic crown, or is it covered in glass?

Slim, elegant, supertall.

The podium is nice too, with its curved roof.

I'm not sure if I like the "twisting" shape though. This concept has been overdone in skyscrapers recently, I think. There are too many towers with twisting/spiralling shapes being designed at the moment. I'd prefer something a bit more linear and straight.

Also, it seems a bit isolated.

Good to see that this design won. The others were bad. Well Libeskind's was pretty cool - but most of his stuff is bad, so TS for him.
