Russia Tower-Largest Building In World With Natural Ventilation System

06 Jul 2009

Russia Tower, a spectacular design from the designer of Crystal Island, Forster + Partners. This skyscraper will be the tallest building in world just behind the Burj Dubai, Taipei 101 and is expected to be the largest building in world with natural ventilation system when completed.

Forster + Partners designed the building with an “energy cycle” system, which is a hot water circuit that runs through the building distributing the energy to regulate temperature and heat water.

The pyramidal design of the building maximizes exposure of natural lighting. In addition to this there will be a series of green skygardens rising up the core of the building that draw in natural ventilation and provides social space for the occupants.

The 620 meter tall building will be the tallest building in Europe when completed and will also be called as “vertical city” which will be able to house 25,000 people in it.

This will be a mixed-use project which will incorporate apartments, hotel, office and leisure space and is expected to be complete in 2012.
