Khanty Mansiysk Tower, Siberia


Khanty Mansiysk: This 917 foot tall tower in Khanty Mansiysk is designed by Foster + Partners to be a multi use living and workspace capable of withstanding the hot and cold extremes of the Siberian climate. In the renderings provided it looks like a diamond on the hill thanks to the faceted glass Foster has used to maximized penetration of natural daylight, increase solar gain, provide insulation in winter and decrease the power needed for artificial lighting.
