The Evolution Tower is a 55-story office skyscraper in Moscow's Moscow International Business Center, completed in 2014. Rising 246 metres, the neo-futurist structure is distinguished by its distinctive DNA-helix silhouette, a defining feature that has made it a notable landmark in the cityscape. Designed by British architect Tony Kettle in collaboration with University of Edinburgh's Professor of Art Karen Forbes, the building was constructed between 2011 and late 2014, encompassing 169,000 square metres of floor space. Following its completion, the tower was purchased by Transneft in 2016 for US$1 billion to serve as the company's headquarters. The Evolution Tower ranks as Russia's twelfth-tallest building and Europe's twentieth-tallest.
