“The historic city of St. Petersburg in Russia will soon be home to the tallest and supposedly ‘greenest’ tower in Europe. The UK-based architectural firm RMJM was given a go by the Russian gas giant to build the new Gazprom Neft headquarters in the former Russian capital.” (Via archinect.com.)

“The main tower ‘is to rise at least 300 meters (985 feet) into the sky and symbolize the growing power of the firm. It is also to be situated just opposite the famed 18th century Smolny Cathedral on the Neva River in historic St. Petersburg.’  (Via bldgblog.)
