An Architecture firm, Kettle Collective, has concluded on the plans for the second tallest skyscraper in the world at St. Petersburg in Russia, next to the Lakhta Center itself.
It will stand at 703 metres overtaking the current existing second tallest building in the world – The Shanghai Tower. The excited architects claim this building will have the best in low class energy design in a press release.
The new Lakhta Center will be a template of sustainable design for global high-rise projects
“It will have the best in class low energy design and a mix of uses that will create a vertical atrium space with a vibrant center as the heart for this new business district.”
The design is both aesthetic and functional as it will reduce considerable wind forces that will impact the structure, in turn reducing the size of structural elements required within the building.
