The Evolution Tower (Russian: Башня "Эволюция", romanized: Bashnya Evolyutsiya) is a skyscraper located on plots 2 and 3 of the MIBC in Moscow, Russia. The 55-story office building has a height of 246 metres (807 ft) and a total area of 169,000 square metres (1,820,000 sq ft). Noted in Moscow for its futuristic DNA-like shape, the building was designed by British architect Tony Kettle in collaboration with University of Edinburgh's Professor of Art Karen Forbes. Construction of the tower began in 2011 and was completed in late 2014. In 2016, Transneft bought the Evolution Tower for US$1 billion to establish its headquarters.[3][4][5] The skyscraper is the twelfth-tallest building in Russia, and the 20th-tallest building in Europe.
