Moscow’s skyline will be dominated by the Crystal Island, the world’s largest building when completed. Foster + Partners have designed a city in a city with a footprint four times the size of the Pentagon. A mind blowing 27 million square feet. The projects budget is $4 billion and is scheduled to be built in five year.
 Crystal Island will have a range of cultural, exhibition and performance facilities, approximately 3000 hotel rooms and 900 serviced apartments, as well as offices and shops, designed to maintain a dynamic and animated public realm throughout the day. Residents are able to work and live within a densely planned area where every amenity is within easy walking distance, including an international school for 500 students. Mixed-use also presents a strong case for energy balance, with individual components using energy at different times, while reinforcing the breadth of economic and social activity of the area.
