RMJJ the executive architects of the Scottish Pairlament will add a "sexy" twisting skyscraper to the rapid changing skyline of Moscow "richest looking city in Europe" - The Guardian
Is the background shown there really what the skyline of Moscow looks like?! I was there in 1993 and only remember rows upon rows of public block housing. I guess things change quickly.
"vulgar and ostentatious" is to the Moscow "tycoon" what steak knives were to Uday Hussein - their insouciance, arguably, congruent. Another bauble for Moscow's skyline, now owned by magpie oligarchs looking to out-bling each other. Plus ça change...
Calatrava's pas de deux in Malmö shares some similarities with this drillbit but lacks the whiff of smoking Glocks and disco sweat. I find it reminiscent of a dna-deficient double helix - perhaps a Freudian slip at work.
Here's hoping it gets built for less than the Maldives' GDP.

'drillbit' is more flattering than 'two ribbons' which is boring. but like corbu said it in new york "it is not tall enough"...
