Another project of the famous british designer Sir Norman Foster. He has revealed his designs for a new ecological tower in Khanty Mansyisk, Siberia.
This tower will include places to live, work and entertain the occupants. Foster has covered the tower in faceted glass which will help maximizing the daylight during the winter while reflecting natural daylight to illuminate the interior spaces.The 280- meter tower centers around a south-facing atrium, which maximizes daylight and solar gain.The tower will have space for residential, office, hotel and retail programs, and will feature a restaurant at the tower’s summit.
