They make laws and never fulfil it. Why not to create a project which suits all the aspects.. law, creative design, employment improvement and safety of city’s historical view?? British architects have already spoiled smooth and steady view of UK cities with constructing those dynamic, torsile business centres which are abnormal for human’s perceprion of surrounding space.
D.teil is right telling it looks like a symbol of a long penis (Uncle Freud has warned us about it…)
But for some people not to use Gasprom money is a real vital loss!

i totally agree with the unesco! Why this old city needs a “skycrap” in that height? anyhow: why need the company such a tall tower? is this the cooperate identity of gazprom? to work inside a tall tower is nothing special. no communication, nothing. the boss will be sitting on the top and the manager under him the youngest staff are on the lower floors. nice!
is just the symbol of a long penis. when i remember right, i liked the jean nouvel project much more. even it was also quite big, but it was much more like one community.
by working and living in shenzhen i hate tall towers more and more.

During the last war, anything this shape would have been bombed – sharpish!

I think this project is quite amazing actually, they should build it if they have the resources. Nothing wrong with wanting a “symbolic” building if you can afford it.

Totally out of proportion and context for this particular city, a pure petroleum ambitions symbol.

when it was time to vote i didn’t pick this project. And in fact I now like it. Totally represents gazprom and it’s way more beautiful than some Chicago spire or Tour Signal. It has a meaning in St. Petersburg. Should be built as the Shard in London, or the MoMA tower.
As they say the real question is not “should it be built” but “Should/Can Architecture go forward”?
