Crystal Island
Moscow is about to have the world’s largest building. It’s an arcology called Crystal Island. The floor area alone will be four times the size of Pentagon in Washington DC. At 1500 ft. tall, it’ll feature 900 apartments, 3000 hotel rooms, an international school for 500 students, cinemas, a theater, sports complex and much more. There will also be a 16,500 space underground parking lot for all the visitors. The Crystal Island visitors will be able to enjoy panoramic views of Moscow on the viewing platforms located 980 ft. above ground.
Back in 2001 some people were saying there would be no more sky scrapers because of 9/11. Obviously, they were as wrong as the Y2K people or the global warming people (will be shown to be).
America used to be the place where all the great buildings were, but we’re being eclipsed by other nations.
This is just the beginning of the 21st century. One wonders what other structures we’ll see be seeing.
It’s a crock. Russia doesn’t have enough people to fill the buildings they do have, and they’re losing more every day. One child for every three women is their birth rate. They can’t even maintain what they already have, and some glory porking ass proposes to build this thing? Russia has died and here we see people trying to cover the stink with grandiosity.
If you think people bitch about Iraq, what till our young people have to go and pacify Russia.
