We are talking about the Dominion Tower business center building, which is located at the following address: 5 Sharikopodshipnikovskaya St. The author of the project was Zaha Hadid, a famous British architect and designer of Arab origin. Hadid drew inspiration from Russian culture and architecture, which is why the building was built in the best traditions of the Russian avant-garde, one of the fundamental trends in modern architecture.

Thus, work is underway on the creation of a special installation on the seventh floor. The discovery of new architecture for the capital is rightfullycan be considered the "City Farm" at VDNKh. Built by Oleg Shapiro's architectural bureau "Wauhaus", the farm will be a great place to spend a weekend with the whole family. The territory of the "City Farm" is divided into several zones. Here you can stroll through a large park, look at the beds with plants, have healthy burgers for lunch and even feed the goats, rabbits and cows. And if you check the schedule in advance, you can even watch the milking.

The building, designed by Sergei Tchoban and Peter Schweger, is an ultra-modern 95-story skyscraper. At the moment, it is the tallest structure in Europe — 374 meters. The inside of the Federation Tower is no less unique than the outside, as it houses an entire “vertical city.” In addition to residential spaces and offices, there are bars, restaurants, cafes, travel agencies and airline ticket offices, banks, a shopping gallery, and even a sports club.
