Evolution Tower
RMJM + Gorproject / Philipp Nikandrov · Moscow, Russia · 2014
Evolution Tower is distinguished by a continuous twisting profile that rotates gradually as the building rises. The form was developed from an earlier conceptual scheme and realized by RMJM and Gorproject, with Philipp Nikandrov playing a central design role. Its curved glass façade gives the tower a different silhouette from every viewpoint and makes it one of the most recognizable buildings in Moscow City. Completed in 2014, the project is a strong example of the international high-rise experimentation that reshaped Moscow’s western skyline in the early twenty-first century.
