In Moscow they want to do things in a big way. So much so, that within 5 years it will be able to boast of being the city with the largest building in the world . This Russian fad will cost a chilling $ 4 trillion and will begin construction in early 2008. It will be called Crystal Island and could certainly become the main tourist attraction in the country. In Russia they are already beginning to rub their hands.

The person in charge of designing it has been the architect Norman Foster . It should be remembered that he is a lover of volcanic forms as he demonstrated in his day with the creation of the ‘Entertainment Center Khan Shatyry’ located in Kazakhstan . In addition, he is the creator of works such as the Torre Agbar in Barcelona and has also been hired for the renovation of the Camp Nou stadium in the same city.

Crystal Island will have 3,000 hotel rooms, 900 apartments, cinemas, parking with capacity for more than 16,000 vehicles, an international school, etc. Likewise, the building will bet on renewable energies, since it will be supplied with the help of solar panels.
It will have a height of 450 meters and a total area of 2.67 million square meters. Simply spectacular.
