City of Capitals, Building complex in Moscow, Russia.
This building complex consists of two towers with fragmented geometric forms rising to about 374 meters in Moscow's financial district. The structure contains 73 floors above ground, five basement levels, and eight high-speed elevators serving office and residential spaces.
The complex opened in 2009 as part of Moscow's International Business Center development, marking the city's transformation into a global financial hub. This project represented Russia's push toward modern symbols of economic strength.
The building's angular design reflects Russia's embrace of contemporary urban forms with intersecting geometric shapes that stand out in the skyline. Its unusual appearance has made it a reference point for how Moscow presents itself to the world.
The building stands out visibly and serves mainly as office and residential space for financial operations in the district. You can best appreciate its architectural form from street level, and the site is accessible through the area's public transportation connections.
Each tower in the complex has different heights and configurations, telling a story about two major Russian cities through its architectural design. The two structures are meant to visually represent Moscow and Saint Petersburg, connecting two major cities in a single building.
