The main attractions of Moscow now can be called not only old buildings in the city center, but also skyscrapers.

There are 87 buildings in the capital, the height of which exceeds 100 m.

The history of metropolitan skyscrapers began in 1953, when the main building of Moscow State University, 240 m high, was built. This building remained the highest until 2003, when the Triumph Palace skyscraper was built.

By the way, the tallest buildings in the capital were built over the past 10-15 years.

The editors of RBC-Real Estate decided to compile a selection of the tallest buildings in Moscow.

The height of the Triumph Palace residential skyscraper is 264 m. After the installation of the spire, the building became the tallest residential skyscraper in Europe, which was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records at the end of 2003. The towers of the Moscow International Business Center "Moscow City" at that time were just beginning to rise above the ground, and for some time the "Triumph Palace" was the tallest building in Moscow. Several sections of the building were lifted up by helicopters. The complex of the building consists of 45 floors. "Triumph Palace" is a building of neoclassical and postmodern architecture in the Stalinist style of the 1950s, consists of 9 sections of different heights. The building is faced with marble, travertine and porcelain stoneware. The area inside the building exceeds 168.6 thousand square meters. m.

"Mercury City" - the highest skyscraper in Europe, which is located on the territory of MIBC "Moscow City". Its height is 338.8 m. The building consists of 75 floors. The total floor area of ​​the skyscraper is 180,000 sq.m., of which 86,000 sq.m. are provided for A+ class office space, 20,000 sq.m. m - residential apartments of the "luxury" category. The building was designed by Russian architect Mikhail Posokhin and his American colleague Frank Williams.

The Great Wall of China is 8,851.9 km long! In total, it was built over 19 (!) centuries (from the 3rd century BC to the middle of the 17th century), and, undoubtedly, today it is the longest and most grandiose architectural structure in the world. Also on earth, other incredibly long buildings were created by human hands, among which I would like to note the Kumbhalgarh fortress in India (length 36 thousand meters), Fort Ranikot in Pakistan (length 8.6 thousand meters), the Kremlin wall in Moscow (length 2235 meters). As you can see, all these structures are defensive in nature. But among scientific institutions, office and residential buildings, there are also champions. In the article we will talk about the longest house in Moscow.

In the capital of Russia at Varshavskoe shosse, 125, there is a "recumbent skyscraper". This is how Muscovites jokingly call this house, the length of which is 978 meters! If you put the building vertically, you get 390 floors and a small attic! A grand recumbent skyscraper. Undoubtedly, today it is the longest house in Moscow.

This building houses the office and production facilities of one of the oldest enterprises in the country for the development of computer technology nodes for open source software. The legal name of the developer is OAO NICEVT. It was founded back in 1948 on the basis of a design bureau, whose employees assembled the first Soviet computer "Strela". The Scientific Research Center carried out secret developments of space on-board computers, and it was precisely before the Research Center for Electronic Computer Technology that the task was set to create a single computer system at all Soviet factories. With this task SIC coped with honor. In the 1990s, the last models of domestic computers - ES-1181 and SEVM-1195 - appeared within the walls of this institute. And today, the best minds of the country are working here, creating advanced technologies that are not inferior in technical characteristics, speed and quality to foreign counterparts. Consider the house itself, in which NICEVT is based.

Construction history

Initially, the SIC was located in several buildings at once:

• on the territory of the Moscow CAM plant (2400 sq. m.),
• on the territory of the design bureau (KBPA) on the Entuziastov highway (1000 sq. m.),
• on Warsaw highway in the building of the kindergarten NIISCHETMASH with an area of ​​1600 sq. m.

The total number of employees scattered over different territories was 900 people. But gradually the volume of work and the number of employees increased. Therefore, in 1969, it was decided to build a single building to accommodate all the resources of the SIC - production and human - on one area. For this, a plot of 76 hectares was allocated on Varshavskoye Highway.

The construction of the building was carried out quickly. In 1970, a boiler house appeared here, the task of which in the future was to heat the Research Center, but its capacity was enough to heat the entire Chertanovo industrial area and two schools. In 1972, the main production building, power unit and canteen appeared. In 1975, the first two buildings of the base laboratory began to work.

In 1975, launch the base laboratory, housed in two buildings. Like everything that was done in the USSR, the "recumbent skyscraper" in Moscow was built to last for centuries.

Not distinguished by special architectural delights and having a typical appearance, this house amazes with the scope of construction:

• The 6-storey building on the front side has 236 windows on each floor! That is, there are almost 1650 windows on the front side of the building!
• this incredibly long house stretched for as many as three bus stops: "Warsaw Highway" - next to the southern part of the building, "Social Security Administration" - opposite the main entrance to the Research Center, "Shopping Complex" - near the northern end of the building.

Employees sometimes need to take a bus to go from one department to another in the same building... The scale is impressive.
Such a long house is even very difficult to photograph in its entirety. But it is clearly visible from a bird's eye view.

Today, the area of ​​the longest building in Moscow, owned by NICEVT, is partly used by the research center itself, and partly rented out for production, warehouses and offices. If the visitor does not know exactly in which room, on which floor the company renting space in the "lying skyscraper" at 125 Varshavskoye Highway is located, then it can take a whole day to search for it!

In second place is the longest residential building in Moscow, located at 4 Grizodubova Street. This house is part of the architectural ensemble of the residential complex "Grand Park" and has a length of more than 700 meters. The building is a whole unit, but for the convenience of postal identification it is divided into four buildings.

Although, according to the tradition of domestic numbering of residential buildings, a separate number is assigned to the house that faces the street, and the buildings are numbered for those buildings that do not have direct access to the street, but only to the courtyard. In the case of the Grizodubovsky house, this rule is violated, but the exceptional length of the residential building should be taken into account.

Another contender

In the capital, on Rimsky-Korsakovo Street, there is an amazing building, which many consider to be the longest residential building in the city. Its length is really amazing - 1100 meters! The people call this building the "Moscow Chinese Wall", or "Bastille".

Although the building itself is interesting, the question of whether it can be called the longest in Moscow is debatable. This is because in fact it is a complex of six completely different houses. Not only do they all have different postal addresses (numbered from 8 to 18), they were also built in completely different periods. Combined ("blinded") several houses together in order to protect the inhabitants of the area from harmful electromagnetic radiation that occurs during experiments at the nearest research institute, engaged in the study and testing of high-voltage temperatures.

The popular statement - size doesn't matter - certainly does not apply to the height of buildings. Man has not abandoned attempts to get to heaven since biblical times - starting with the construction of the Tower of Babel. The tallest buildings in the world amaze with their grandeur and technical novelty, we invite you to learn more about each of them. We will talk specifically about skyscrapers, this list will not include towers, which will be a separate story

But until the 19th century, increasing the height of buildings meant thickening the walls, which had to support the weight of the structure. The creation of elevators and metal frames for walls freed the hands of architects and engineers, allowing them to design and build taller and taller buildings with more floors. So, the 10 tallest buildings in the world:

№10 Empire State Building, New York, USA

The Empire State Building is America's most famous skyscraper; the Chrysler Building is one of the last skyscrapers built in the Art Deco style; Rockefeller Center is the world's largest private business and entertainment complex, comprising 19 buildings. The observation deck of the center offers stunning panoramic views of Central Park and the Empire State Building.

During the construction of the building, new technologies in building structures were developed, such as the J. Bogardus cast iron frame metal structure, the E. G. Otis passenger elevator. The skyscraper consists of a foundation, a steel frame of columns and beams above the ground, and curtain walls attached to the beams. In this skyscraper, the main load is carried by the steel frame, not the walls. He transfers this load directly to the foundation. Thanks to this innovation, the weight of the building has significantly decreased and amounted to 365 thousand tons. 5662 cubic meters of limestone and granite were used for the construction of the outer walls. In total, the builders used 60 thousand tons of steel structures, 10 million bricks and 700 kilometers of cable. The building has 6500 windows.

The International Finance Center is a complex commercial building located on the waterfront of Hong Kong's Central District. A significant landmark of Hong Kong Island, it consists of two skyscrapers: the International Financial Center shopping gallery and the 40-story Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Tower 2 is the tallest building in Hong Kong, having usurped the space once occupied by Central Plaza. The complex was built with the support of Sun Hung Kai Properties and MTR Corp. The Hong Kong Airport Express Station is located directly below it. The construction of the first international financial center was completed in 1998, and the opening took place in 1999. The building has 38 floors, 18 high-speed passenger elevators in four zones, its height is 210 m, the total area is 72,850 m. Now the building can accommodate approximately 5,000 people.

№6 Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai, China

The total height of the structure is 421 meters, the number of floors reaches 88 (93 together with the belvedere). The distance from the ground to the roof is 370 meters, and the top floor is at a height of 366 meters! Perhaps, compared to the Emirati (still unfinished) giant Burj Dubai, Jin Mao will seem like a dwarf, but against the background of other buildings in Shanghai, this giant looks impressive. By the way, not far from the Golden Building of Success there is also a skyscraper - the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), which surpassed Jin Mao in height and became the tallest office building in China in 2007. Currently, a 128-story skyscraper is planned to be erected next to Jin Mao and SHVFC, which will become the tallest building in China.

The hotel is famous for being one of the tallest in the world, it is located on the top floors of a skyscraper, which, in turn, is currently the tallest in Shanghai

From the 54th to the 88th floor there is the Hyatt hotel, this is its atrium.

On the 88th floor, at an altitude of 340 meters above the ground, there is an indoor observation deck Skywalk, which can accommodate more than 1000 people at a time. Skywalk area - 1520 sq.m. In addition to the superb view of Shanghai from the observatory, the magnificent atrium of the Shanghai Grand Hyatt Hotel can be seen from above.

№5 Fifth place in the list of tallest buildings is "Sears Tower", Chicago, USA

The Sears Tower is a skyscraper located in Chicago, USA. The height of the skyscraper is 443.2 meters, the number of floors is 110. Construction began in August 1970, completed on May 4, 1973. Chief architect Bruce Graham, chief designer Fazlur Khan.

The Sears Tower was built over 30 years ago. In 1974, the skyscraper became the tallest building in the world, surpassing the World Trade Center in New York by 25 meters. For more than two decades, the Sears Tower held the lead and only in 1997 gave way to the Kuala Lumpur "twins" - the Petronas Towers.

Today, the Sears Tower is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent buildings in the world. Until now, this building remains the tallest skyscraper in the United States.

The cost of the Sears tower, 443 meters high, was 150 million dollars - at that time it was quite an impressive amount. Today, the equivalent cost would be almost $1 billion.

The main building material that went into the construction of the Sears Tower was steel.

You do not need to be an expert in physics and seismology to understand that a structure with a height of 509.2 meters is at very high risk during an earthquake. That is why Asian engineers at one time decided to secure one of the architectural gems of Taiwan in a rather original way - with the help of a giant ball or stabilizer ball.

The $4 million project, which involves installing a giant 728-tonne ball on top of the skyscraper, has proven to be one of the most exciting engineering experiments of recent times. Suspended on thick cables, the ball plays the role of a stabilizer that allows you to "dampen" the vibrations of the building structure during an earthquake.

№1 Burj Dubai, Dubai, UAE

The tower is equipped with 56 elevators (by the way, the fastest in the world), boutiques, swimming pools, luxury apartments, hotels and observation decks. A distinctive feature of the construction is the international composition of the working team: a South Korean contractor, American architects, Indian builders. Four thousand people took part in the construction.

Records set by the construction of Burj Dubai:

* the building with the most floors - 160 (the previous record was 110 for the Sears Tower skyscrapers and the destroyed twin towers);

* tallest building - 611.3 m (previous record - 508 m at the Taipei 101 skyscraper);

* the highest free-standing structure - 611.3 m (previous record - 553.3 m at the CN Tower);

* the highest concrete injection height for buildings - 601.0 m (the previous record was 449.2 m at the Taipei 101 skyscraper);

* the highest concrete injection height for any structure - 601.0 m (the previous record was 532 m at the Riva del Garda hydroelectric power station);

* in 2008, the height of the Burj Dubai exceeded the height of the Warsaw radio tower (646 m), the building became the tallest ground structure in the history of human construction.

* On January 17, 2009, Burj Dubai reached its declared height of 818 m, and became the tallest building in the world.

The availability of modern technologies and building materials provides architects all over the planet with the opportunity to constantly create bold designs for the tallest buildings in the world and translate them into reality. As a result, not only thousands of ordinary buildings, but also hundreds of skyscrapers appear every year in different countries. Some of them are typical, while others are so unique and recognizable that they bear the title of real architectural masterpieces. This article further presents a ranking of the 10 tallest buildings in the world in ascending order, taking into account the spiers and masts on their roofs.

"Nanjing Greenland"

This building is also known as the Zifeng Tower, and it is located in the Chinese city of Nanjing. It consists of 89 floors and has a height of 450 meters. The commissioning of this skyscraper took place in 2010. Now the skyscraper, which is built in the shape of a triangle, has a mixed purpose. In particular, the lower floors house various shops and restaurants, while the upper floors are used as offices. The observation deck at level 72 offers a beautiful view of the local surroundings and the Yangtze River. Three conceptual positions have become characteristic of the project - the aforementioned Chinese river, landscaped gardens and motifs of local mythology (dragons with iconography on the columns).

Petronas Towers

In the ninth position of the ranking "The tallest building in the world" is the symbol of Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia) - "Twin Towers". Active participation in their design was taken by the then prime minister of the state, Mahathir Mohamad. It was he who came up with the idea of ​​building them in the Islamic style, and more specifically, in the form of eight-pointed stars. Both skyscrapers were built in 1998, consist of 88 floors and have a height of 451.9 meters. Inside they have meeting rooms, art galleries and offices. The cost of the project reached 800 million US dollars. An interesting feature is that the structures were erected on soft ground, so piles about 100 meters deep were driven into the ground to strengthen it. Such a foundation is the most powerful on the planet to this day. A covered walkway has been constructed between the towers, one of the important purposes of which is fire safety.

International Commerce Center in Hong Kong

The height of this building - 484 m. It consists of 118 floors, was put into operation in the city of Kowloon in 2010. Mostly it houses offices, shops and shopping centers. The top seventeen floors are occupied by a five-star hotel with a huge swimming pool on the last floor. It was originally planned to build a 102-storey building with a height of 574 meters, but due to the ban on building buildings higher than the surrounding mountains, the project was revised.

Shanghai World Financial Center

This representative of the "World's Tallest Building" rating was built in 2008. The World Financial Center in Shanghai has a height of 492 meters and consists of 101 floors. The skyscraper boasts several prizes and awards at once as the best high-rise building in 2008 and the owner of the highest observation deck on the planet. The structure passed the seismic stability test and is able to withstand an earthquake with a power of up to seven points. Moreover, even at the design stage, the architects provided for three options for saving people during a fire. On every twelfth floor, there is a protected area where you can hide from a fire or wait for rescuers.

"Taipei 101"

On the sixth position in the list is a skyscraper from Taipei - the capital of Taiwan. The building consists of 101 floors, and its height is 508 meters. Built in 2004, the skyscraper harmoniously combines ancient Chinese architecture and modern traditions of postmodernism. Between the 87th and 91st floors, a giant pendulum ball weighing 660 tons is installed, which significantly reduces the likelihood of collapse in the event of an earthquake or hurricane. The structure, which is predominantly made of steel, aluminum and glass, is supported by 380 pillars made of concrete and extending underground to a depth of 80 meters.

CTF Finance Center

This skyscraper is located in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. It is also known as the International Financial Center. The skyscraper was built in the style of modernism, and was officially opened in 2010. As of today, it belongs to the category of "the tallest buildings under construction in the world", since work on its construction is still ongoing. According to the plans of the architects, they should be completed in 2016. Then it will be a whole complex consisting of two towers. The height of the completed, western building, consisting of 103 floors, is now 441 meters. The complex also includes a building on 28 floors, which is connected to the existing tower through a 4-storey common basement. The impact on the building of air currents is practically reduced to zero due to its streamlined shape.

Freedom Tower

Located in the American city of New York, the Freedom Tower is a skyscraper with a height of 541.3 meters. It should be noted that this is the tallest building in the world that is used exclusively for offices. Moreover, it is the largest skyscraper in the entire Western Hemisphere. The Freedom Tower has become the main building in the new World Trade Center, erected to replace the complex destroyed by the terrorist attack in 2001. The building itself has a roof height of 417 meters, and the remaining 124 meters fall on a 758-ton spire mounted on it. From the outside, it is lined with glass with a bluish tint, so it looks very beautiful.

Royal clock tower

The representative of Saudi Arabia closes the top three in the top of the tallest buildings in the world. The building is located in the world-famous city of Mecca and rises to 601 meters. It consists of 102 floors and was officially opened in 2012. The skyscraper is the largest on the planet in terms of building volume and boasts the highest clock on Earth. The mosque with the main Islamic shrine (Kaaba) is right across the road. The Royal Clock Tower has a hotel that proudly bears the title of the highest in the world. At the same time, it can accommodate about 100 thousand people.

shanghai tower

In second place in the "World's Tallest Building" ranking is an ultra-tall building called Shanghai Tower, the construction of which is currently being completed in the Chinese city of the same name. According to the project, its height will be 632 meters, and the number of floors will be 128. The cost of its implementation, according to preliminary estimates, will be 4.2 billion US dollars. It is expected that its official commissioning will take place in 2015, despite the fact that construction work started in 1993. The frame itself has already been erected, and now only finishing work is underway. The skyscraper is multifunctional and consists of nine separate vertical zones. The decoration is made of durable glass, which provides not only protection from external weather conditions for people, but also natural ventilation.

"Burj Khalifa"

The rating of the tallest buildings in the world is confidently headed by the Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper from the city of Dubai (UAE). Its peak is at an altitude of 828 meters. The building was erected in 2010 and consists of 136 floors. In its shape, it resembles a stalagmite. Initially, the facility was planned as a city within a city, with its own lawns, parks and boulevards. There are three separate entrances to the skyscraper. Starting from floors 1 to 39, there are offices and the Armani Hotel. This is not surprising, since the design of the hotel was developed personally by Giorgio Armani. On the site from level 44 to 108, the architects built 900 apartments, and from 111 to 154 they equipped office space. There is an observation deck on the 124th floor.

Without a doubt, located in the city of Dubai, the tallest building in the world strikes the human imagination. Be that as it may, many skyscrapers and dozens of skyscrapers appear on our planet every year. Many of them are still at the stage of construction may well be considered as potential competitors to the representatives of the above rating. A clear evidence of this is the fact that some of them are already considered real architectural masterpieces and are recognizable all over the planet. Zhongnan Center (China), Lotte World Tower (South Korea) and World Tower (Mumbai) are considered the most iconic objects that can already be safely included in the list of "The tallest buildings in the world of the future".

The first of the mentioned structures, according to the project, should have a height of 730 meters and consist of 138 floors. If all work is completed on schedule, then in 2020 it will officially open. After that, the building will become the tallest in China. The project is estimated at $4.2 billion.

It is expected that the height of the skyscraper Lotte World Tower in Seoul will reach 556 meters. Its construction should be completed in 2016. The architects plan to place offices, shops and a hotel inside.

As for the World Tower, the building should receive its first visitors as early as next year. The highest building in Mumbai now - the Imperial Tower - this building will surpass almost twice. In addition to shopping centers and offices, it is planned to build about three hundred luxury apartments here, the cost of which will start at $1.5 million.

I once told you, but yesterday, October 15, the construction of the tallest residential skyscraper in New York “432 Park Avenue” between 56th and 57th streets in downtown Manhattan was completed.

Under the cut, you will find out how this building was built and how much an apartment costs there ...

Settlement of "432 Park Avenue", the cost of apartments from 7 to 80 million dollars, is planned in about a year.

432 Park Avenue, while the construction of the 117-story residential building "World One" in Mumbai (India), which will be 50 feet taller, is currently considered the tallest residential building in the world.

Photo 3.

The construction of another giant, the 122-story Pentominium building in Dubai (UAE), with a height of about 1693 feet, was previously suspended.

The fact that Dubai holds the record for the number of tallest residential skyscrapers built and under construction is indisputable. Prior to the construction of 432 Park Avenue, the world's tallest residential building was the 101-story 1360-foot Princess Tower in Dubai, which was completed in September 2012.

Photo 5.

The architectural project of 432 Park Avenue was created by the famous Rafael Viñoly, who has extensive experience in creating unique buildings for various purposes around the world, including the Tokyo International Forum, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and Carrasco International Airport. In 2012, Rafael Vignoli was appointed Chief Architect for the Circus West project in the Battersea Power Station area of ​​London.
Vignoli based the design of the 96-story tower at 432 Park Avenue on the square, as one of the most characteristic geometric shapes for Manhattan. The structural concrete, steel and glass skyscraper consists of seven vertical sections housing 104 residences. The apartments of the lower tier are located at an altitude of more than 100 meters. From the windows measuring 3 by 3 meters, breathtaking views of the city open.

Speaking about the architectural design of the skyscraper, Rafael Vignoli especially emphasizes its connection with Manhattan and the effect that the building has on the skyline of the city: “It was difficult to choose a more suitable project. Its design is a reflection of New York, it fits very harmoniously into the image of the Big Apple. Our goal was to create something that would be timeless, that would become an integral part of the Manhattan panorama, its new symbol.

Photo 7.

The design of the public and domestic premises of 432 Park Avenue, with a total area of ​​​​almost 2,800 square meters. meters, fully corresponds to the most luxurious five-star hotels, but adjusted for the fact that the skyscraper remains a complex of private residences. At 432 Park Avenue, the architectural firm of Rafael Vignoli designed a fitness center, yoga studio, conference rooms, a billiards room, a cinema room, and a full-fledged spa with a steam room and treatment rooms. One of the highlights of the complex is the 23m indoor swimming pool with excellent natural light and panoramic views of the city.

The central entrance to 56th Street provides residents with quiet and comfortable access to the building away from busy Park Avenue and 57th Street. The 12th floor, where the lounge area, wine room and restaurant for residents and their guests are located, can be reached by a special elevator closed to unauthorized people. This space was designed by Bentel & Bentel, an international award-winning architecture firm that has designed some of New York's finest restaurants, including Eleven Madison Park, Craft and Gramercy Tavern. The restaurant on the 12th floor of the skyscraper offers breakfasts, lunches and dinners to residence owners and their guests, as well as apartment service and catering.

The restaurant is adjacent to a spacious outdoor terrace area of ​​more than 500 square meters. meters, where it is possible to hold various events, from charity receptions to family celebrations. It can accommodate up to 350 guests at any time of the year thanks to the possibility of installing special awnings, who will have views of 57th Street and the Four Seasons Hotel. Only a few residential buildings in New York can boast such infrastructure.

Designed by renowned architect Deborah Berke, the elegant and sophisticated interiors of 432 Park Avenue are in keeping with the magnificent architecture of the skyscraper. Ms. Burke's architectural practice has created true masterpieces in 31 years, including the SUNY Rockefeller Center, the three-award-winning 21c Museum Hotel in Kentucky, a residential building at 48 Bond Street in Manhattan's Noho neighborhood, and many others. Deborah Burke's unique aesthetic taste and idea that the building's architecture and design should reflect its location was a perfect fit for the 432 Park Avenue project: “The layout of each residence in the complex reminds us of the grandeur and elegance of the apartments that were on Park Avenue in the pre-war period. And at the same time, they fully meet the requirements of the 21st century.”
