In Moscow they want to do things in a big way. So much so, that in 5 years you can boast of being the city with the largest building in the world.

It will be called Crystal Island and of course it could become the main tourist attraction in the country. In Russia they already begin to rub their hands.

The architect was in charge of designing it Norman Foster. It should be remembered that he is a lover of volcanic forms as he already demonstrated in his day with the creation of the ‘Entertainment Center Khan Shatyry’ situated in Kazakhstan. Furthermore, he is the creator of works such as Agbar Tower Barcelona and has also been hired for the renovation of the stadium Camp Nou from the same city.
