TECHNICAL TOURS

All delegates will have the opportunity for one or more of the following technical tours.

1: Sokolinaya gora

Corner construction site is located at the intersection of Izmaylovsky Val and Shcherbakovskaya streets in close proximity to Semyonovskaya metro station, defining the urban-planning concept of the high-rise building.

The main axis of the building is directed to the center of the square and is additionally fixed by the central lane of the mini-park. Due to its nominal height of 120 meters (33 storeys) the tower dominates the surrounding area filled with buildings of varied height and architectural design. Lower 18- and 24-storey units attached to the central core create a sense of scale-adjusted transition to the surrounding built environment.
