gensler: moscow view

located in moscow, russia, the 'moscow view' designed by international practice gensler will become the tallest
observation wheel in the world upon construction. with a diameter of 220 meters, tourists will view the city and landscape
from individual cabins which move along a rail system, eliminating the internal spokes typically found in ferris wheels.
an adjacent spire will reach 320 meters and the circular base will contain restaurants, retail spaces, galleries and concert halls.

exceeding the height of the singapore flyer and london eye, the project will cost an estimated 300 million USD.
its exact location within the city is still under consideration.

Great design but being from Ldn I think the spokes of the Ldn eye are nice, they make it look like a massive bicycle wheel.

From a distance, it looks like a star gate.

the metal ring blocks the views from the cabin.
in the london eye the cabins are placed outside the ring. it make sense when it is an observatory wheel...
