'Galaktika' (Galaxy), will 'hover' over the busy intersection of Michurin and Lobachevski streets, South West Moscow." **Implications** - The project has a hefty estimated cost of 250-300 million dollars, so it will be interesting to see if it ultimately gets completed. Construction is planned to begin at the end of this year and to finish by 2010. Without a doubt it will dramatically reshape the face of Moscow forever while also offering a whole bunch of functionality on top. Who wouldn't want to land a helicopter on a giant UFO-shaped building? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **UFO Architecture:** Aiming to revolutionize the design industry by creating unique architectural shapes. - **Futuristic Complexes:** Offering functionality on top of a unique design shape. - **Helicopter Landing Pads:** Providing a new level of convenience and luxury for high-end establishments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** Pushing the boundaries of traditional design and creating iconic shapes. - **Hospitality:** Offering a completely new and unique experience to guests. - **Real Estate Development:** Challenging usual building structures and creating landmark properties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Galactic-Themed Sci-Fi Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-cloud.md) - [Shaded Modern Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-shelter.md) - [Shapeshifting Outer Space Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acromnia-orbital-hotel.md) - [Fly Saucer-Shaped Structural Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-never-hut.md) - [Cube-Shaped Skyscraper Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mukaab.md) - [Futuristic Cultural Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lucas-museum-of-narrative-arts.md) - [Maximalist UFO Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-saucer-coffee-table.md) - [Sci-Fi Coastal Hotel Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicon.md) - [Sky-Based Hotel Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuclearpowered-sky-hotel.md)
