Shukhov Tower

The Shukhov Tower, located in Moscow, Russia, is a Georg Wilhelm von Shukhov-designed hyperboloid metal lattice tower built between 1920 and 1930. Its distinctive, skeletal structure uses a lightweight, efficient framework of intersecting steel poles, forming a tall, stable, and elegant hyperboloid shape. Originally serving as a radio transmission tower, it showcased innovative engineering, combining strength with minimal materials. Renowned for its architectural beauty and structural ingenuity, the Shukhov Tower is considered a pioneering example of industrial design, influencing modern engineering, and remains an important cultural and historical monument.
