Shukhov Tower Cherkasy, Engineering water tower in Cherkasy, Ukraine.
The metal tower reaches up with its hyperboloid shape, featuring a latticed structure that demonstrates advanced engineering principles through its geometrical design.
Built in 1914 under Vladimir Shukhov's direction, the tower underwent reconstruction in 1949 after German forces damaged it during their retreat in World War II.
The tower represents early 20th-century constructivism architecture in Ukraine, combining industrial functionality with mathematical precision in structural design.
Located at 12 Hetmana Sahaidachnoho Street in Cherkasy, the tower stands as a monument although it no longer supplies water to the surrounding buildings.
Among approximately 200 hyperboloid towers designed by Shukhov worldwide, this structure remains one of only twenty that still exist today.
