Architectural opportunities are developing very rapidly, and now there are such buildings, which is breathtaking, and that will in a few years - and to frightening. However, we give you an opportunity to see what can multi-millionaires and corporations in trying to outdo each other in the search for a new draft of their buildings insane, and that the building was no longer something similar.
Nine projects, which are in the final stages of planning or had already started its construction.
1. Aqua. USA.
Published might seem that the skyscraper, the construction of which will end in 2009 - year, like all the others, in Chicago, thousands of whom. No faces get closer, and you going and waves ripple effect that managed to create with the help of architects balconies with different forms and sizes. They literally scattered all building from top to bottom.
2. Chicago Spire, USA
This phenomenal spire, which is to build all the same in Chicago in 2010 - th year, will be the tallest residential building in the world and the tallest buildings in the western hemisphere. It seems designers in developing the draft accidentally came across at the drill, but one thing we know for sure - this is a building height of 609 meters, will dominate the skies of Chicago.
3. CCTV headquarters, China
The building height of 234 meters of all created not for the fact that it can be seen from afar, but their enthusiastic crowd of onlookers gather it accurately. The building will be a complement to the incredible scenery of Beijing, and its opening is planned as a time for the Olympic Game in 2008 - year. Architects named the form of buildings z criss-cross, and, apparently, the angle to be unsupported by any backbone. Well, it was hoped that there would be a transparent floor.
4. Regatta Hotel, Jakarta
Developers design of the aluminum in the marine theme and said that ten small buildings - a sailing boat, a big - a lighthouse. Perhaps, the lighthouse - one of the most extraordinary buildings that I have ever seen, and I would hope that the end result will be at least a bit like this three-dimensional model.
5. Residential building Antilia, India.
Construction of the apartment building met a lot of outrage from local residents. And no wonder: in a city where 65% of residents live in slums, the skyscraper looks Ugly. Politicians wisely decided not to intervene in the building business. After the initial shock of this building, which somehow reminds stand for the CD-ROM from Ikei, it is realized that the building could become part of the unique architecture of the city green.
6. Russian Tower, Russia
Here is the first of the two buildings involved in the review, which is being built in Russia. And more specifically, in Moscow. His plan to build 2012 - ing year, and it will be the tallest building in Europe, nearly double the Eiffel Tower. Above make an observation tower, and then kind of seemed to be smart. Construction, by the way, already is in full swing, and it instructed the company Foster & Partners, which is building "Gherkin" (Kornishon) in the main financial district of London and Kosmoportom in America.
7. City Centre Penang, Malaysia
All recent months has been discussion of this interesting project, but now he runs the final stages of approval and in the near future will begin its construction. True, in any event because of the huge size of the project is unlikely to end construction is expected earlier than 15 years. The entire center of the city resembles science fiction dvuhsotmetrovymi with two towers, and it completely changes the form of tiny, little-known before this pores Penang island.
8. The headquarters of Gazprom, Russia
Here is the second building from Russia, so what! 300-metre flames from the glass in St. Petersburg eclipse all of the surrounding buildings nearby. Depending on the situation of the sun, it will change color to ten times a day. However, the poor residents who have built much older classic Mummy, the tower has been dubbed "Kukuruznym pochatkom". In any case, Gazprom magnitude strikes.
9. Burj Dubai, Dubai
This is a very high building. So high that when he finished next year, it will be built in the highest in the world ever built, and with great isolation. Except for the antenna, is still considered to be the tallest building in Taipei, Taiwan 101, in which all 509 metres. The building at the most preliminary estimates will be 818. Pay attention to the photos. Skyscrapers in Dubai earlier looked very high.
