Siberian eco tower unveiled

UK-based architect Foster – Partners has revealed its designs for an “ecological tower” in Siberia.

Dubbed the Yugra Tower by local media, the mixed-use scheme will rise above the skyline of Khanty Mansiysk, Siberia to an as yet undisclosed height.

Set high on a hill in a densely wooded area, the tower will rise above two podium buildings each designed to look like a cut diamond. At the top of the tower a viewing platform and restaurant will offer panoramic views over the city.
