The main sights of Moscow now can be called not only old buildings in the city center, but also skyscrapers.

There are 87 buildings in the capital, the height of which exceeds 100 m.

History metropolitan skyscrapers began in 1953, when the main building of the Moscow state university height of 240 m. This building remained the tallest until 2003, when the Triumph Palace skyscraper was built.

By the way, the tallest buildings in the capital were built over the past 10-15 years.

The editors of RBC Real Estate decided to compile a selection of the tallest buildings in Moscow.

“Mercury City” is the tallest skyscraper in Europe, which is located on the territory of MIBC “Moscow City”. Its height is 338.8 m. The building consists of 75 floors. The total floor area of ​​the skyscraper is 180 thousand square meters, of which 86 thousand square meters are provided for class A + office premises, 20 thousand square meters. m - residential apartments of the "luxury" category. The building was designed by Russian architect Mikhail Posokhin and his American colleague Frank Williams.

Over 100 floors, countless mutants on the way down, and only one exit from the building to the city. No, now it's not about your real estate, and it's not even a dream. This is a hotel survival game - Skyhill, which will be discussed in our review.

At first glance, the story of the game may seem banal and uninteresting. Our hero gets to the hotel SKYHILL, in which he rents a room on the hundredth floor. And then out of nowhere, a biological explosion occurs, after which all hotel guests and employees turn into mutants, all except your guy in a tie. The mutants who now inhabit the hotel are not X-Men for you, do not expect good from them, since in the game they are the main threat to the player. To survive, our hero has to go down 100 floors and fight many enemies.

The plot of the game does not bode well, but this is only at first glance, as we progress we have to calm down a lot of interesting details about our heroes and the world of the game, finding various notes along the way. In addition, the plot in the game is not linear, so you will have the opportunity to complete the game in three ways, this is how many endings there are in the game. Immediately, we note that not all of them are positive, so you have to cry a little. It is also worth noting the presentation of the plot, which is done at a high level. In the form of high-quality illustrated and voiced comics. All this fits perfectly into the overall style of the game.

Point and click horror

Skyhill presents itself as a horror movie, but in fact, many genres intersect in the game: RPG, point and click and horror. You, just like in any other role-playing game, need to collect various garbage, from which you can then collect some items or feed your hero so that he does not die of hunger. Hunger is one of the main problems here, you have to constantly look for the hunger indicator, and let the game not scare you, but you are constantly in tension, each new floor is a new adventure, each item has both short-term and long-term effects, and each of your step needs to be thought out in advance.

Starting with the VIP room, which also serves as an upgradeable base, you have to go through each floor and reach the hotel reception (this is the final goal). We move by pressing the mouse button, one click takes away hunger points from us. Therefore, the search for food comes first, otherwise you will quickly starve to death. Food can be anything that our stomach can digest, this is cheese, raw rice, dill, sugar and all that. In addition to ordinary food, we will encounter spoiled foods, after eating which your hero will lose part of his health, but he will fill his belly. Also on the level you can find various keys to closed doors, first aid kits and various weapons. By the way, the latter has the ability to pump, after which the effectiveness of the weapon increases significantly.

Variety of monsters, even the Fat Man from Left 4 Dead is

Well, let's talk about our opponents. Mutants in the game are divided into several types. On the floors, we can meet half-turned people, three-meter thugs, fat men and many other unique monsters. And each of them has its own set of unique abilities. For example, fat men explode on death and can infect and damage our hero. Half-transformed humans, however, can help you create an antidote.

As for the combat system, it will appeal primarily to fans of tactical strategies. As well as in Fallout damage can be inflicted on separate areas of the monster's body, before hitting, you will need to choose exactly where you want to inflict damage, it will depend on the target, and the amount of damage that your hero will inflict, while you must not forget about the probability of hitting. You can miss, but more often than not, the big risk is justified by the big damage. In the presence of a combat system, the developers do not force us to destroy everyone and everything, you can safely run away from enemies without killing anyone.

Running away is not our strong point

also in Skyhill there is a character leveling system. With each killed monster, your hero's experience scale grows, and with it the overall level of the hero. With each new level, you can pump a standard set of characteristics - strength, speed, accuracy and agility. What exactly to pump is up to you. But you need to approach this issue carefully, since each type of characteristics will give the hero unique opportunities for crafting and combat. To all this, the main character of the game has about twenty abilities, ten of which are active and ten more passive.

At the very beginning of the game, you will be given a choice of one for each type. Active abilities are additional first-aid kits, lockpicks and many more of this kind, they are used only once. As for passive ones, they have both their pros and cons. For example, when pumping a certain passive, the hero will have the opportunity to attack first, but at the same time he will not be able to escape from the battle.

The sound design in the game is made on good level, the soundtrack and sounds in the game perfectly convey the atmosphere. As for the graphics, the game has nothing to brag about, but it doesn't matter. Although Skyhill loses in this respect to the mastodons of the genre, I do not want to gouge my eyes out of graphics. The monsters are drawn in great detail, and the variety of locations is good news. The main advantage of the game is that the developers managed to release the game without bugs and lags, so it's a pleasure to play it. Skyhill calmly copes with its task, namely to interest you for the entire duration of the game, the project is out of sight.

Definition number of floors and number of storeys, taking into account the presence of technical floors and underground in the building

The term "number of floors" is enshrined in article 49 of the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation and cannot be replaced by the term "number of storeys".

SP 257.1325800.2016 "Hotel buildings. Design rules".
The number of storeys, heights and depths of hotel buildings is determined in accordance with SP 160.1325800.2014 "Multifunctional buildings and complexes. Design rules".

When dividing a building into parts (sections) and a different number of floors in these parts, as well as when placing a building on a site with a slope, if this changes the number of floors, the number of floors is determined separately for each part of the building.

SP 160.1325800.2014 "Multifunctional buildings and complexes. Design rules"
A.3 Calculation of number of storeys and heights

А.3.1 The number of storeys in a multifunctional building is calculated separately for the aboveground and underground parts of the building.

The number of storeys of the above-ground part of the building is determined by the sum of all above-ground floors, as well as technical, basement, if the top of its floor is at least 2 m higher than the average planning level of the earth.
The number of storeys in the underground part of a building is determined by the sum of all underground levels. In this case, their numbering is carried out from top to bottom.

When placing a building on a site with an intensive slope, the first above-ground floor should be considered the floor with the floor level of the premises above the lowest planning level of the earth. Premises adjacent to the outer wall, where the planning level of the ground is higher than the clean floor, should be considered recessed. They must be designed in accordance with the requirements for basement or underground floors (depending on the degree of their burial).

When dividing a building into parts (sections) and a different number of floors in these parts, as well as when placing a building on a site with a slope, if this changes the number of floors, the number of floors is determined separately for each part of the building.

А.3.2 The height of the building is determined by the height of the location of the upper floor, excluding the upper technical floor, by the greatest difference in the elevation of the passage surface for fire engines and the lower border of the opening (window) in the outer wall (or fences of summer rooms).

With continuous glazing of the building facades and the absence of window and other openings in the upper floors, its height is determined as the difference between the floor marks of the last floor and the above-mentioned passage surface for fire engines.

The depth of the building is determined by the difference between the planning level of the ground (the lowest located) and the level of the finished floor of the lower underground floor (technical underground).

Notes (edit)
1. The areas of the summer premises of the residential part of the building should be determined with decreasing coefficients (for loggias - 0.5, balconies and terraces - 0.3, verandas and cold storerooms - 1.0) given in, for the operated roof - 0.3.
2. The calculation of the floor area at the pre-design stage is carried out without deducting the area occupied by the internal walls.
3.B total area buildings separately indicate the area of ​​open unheated planning elements of the building (exploited roof, terraces, open external galleries, open loggias, etc.).

SP 42.13330.2016 "Urban planning. Planning and development of urban and rural settlements."
5.5 When planning organization residential areas should provide for their differentiation by types of buildings, its number of storeys and density, location, taking into account the historical, cultural, climatic and other local features. The type and number of storeys of residential buildings are determined in accordance with the socio-demographic, national, household, architectural, compositional, sanitary and hygienic and other requirements for the formation of a residential environment, as well as with the possibility of developing social, transport and engineering infrastructure and ensuring fire safety.
Residential areas include:
- building area multi-storey residential buildings(nine floors or more);
- building area mid-rise residential buildings (from five to eight floors, including the attic);
- building area low-rise multi-apartment residential buildings (up to four floors, including the attic);

In accordance with Appendix "D" to SP 118.13330.2012 "Public buildings and structures" and in accordance with clause B.1.6 Appendix "B" to SP 54.13330.2011 "Residential multi-apartment buildings", letters of the Ministry of Construction of Russia dated 23.10.2015 No. 34425-АБ / 08 when determining the number of floors, all floors are taken into account, including underground, basement, basement, above ground, technical above 1.8 m, attic and others.

When determining the number of storeys of a building, all above-ground floors are included in the number of floors, including the technical floor, the attic, as well as the basement floor, if the top of its floor is at least 2 m higher than the average planning level of the earth.

In accordance with clause B. 32.1 of Appendix "B" to SP 118.13330.2012 "Public buildings and structures" and in accordance with clause 2.7 of Appendix B to SP 54.13330.2011 "Residential apartment buildings", the technical floor is the floor for accommodation engineering equipment and laying of communications. The space for laying communications with a height of 1.8 m or less is not a floor.
When calculating the number of floors and determining the number of storeys in a building, the space for laying communications with a height of less than 1.8 m is not taken into account. But when placing premises in the technical underground for the maintenance of buildings with an increase in the height of the premises of more than 1.8 m and the placement of technical equipment, when calculating the number of floors, the technical underground is taken into account.

According to clause B.1.6 of Appendix "B" to SP 54.13330.2011 "Residential apartment buildings", the underground under the building regardless of its height, as well as the interfloor space and the technical attic with a height of less than 1.8 m are not included in the number of overground floors.

According to Appendix "B" to SP 55.13330.2011 "Single-family residential houses", the definition of underground is the space between the overlap of the first or basement floor and the ground surface for placing pipelines engineering systems.

According to SP 54.13330.2016 "Residential apartment buildings":

p.3.10 number of floors of the building: The number of all floors of the building, aboveground, underground, mansard, technical attics, with the exception of premises and interfloor spaces with a room height of less than 1.8 m and underground premises.

3.18 building underground: A room intended for the placement of pipelines of engineering systems, located between the overlap of the first or basement floor and the ground surface.

Appendix A (mandatory). Rules for determining the area of ​​a building and its premises, building area, number of storeys and construction volume
А.1.7 When determining the number of storeys of a building, all above-ground floors are taken into account, including the technical floor, the attic, as well as the basement floor, if the top of its floor is at least 2 m higher than the average planning level of the earth.
When determining the number of floors, all floors are taken into account, including underground, basement, basement, aboveground, technical, attic, etc.
The underground under the building, regardless of its height, as well as the interfloor space and the technical attic with a height of less than 1.8 m, are not included in the number of above-ground floors.
With a different number of floors in different parts of the building, as well as when placing a building on a site with a slope, when the number of floors increases due to the slope, the number of storeys is determined separately for each part of the building.

Classification of buildings by height and number of storeys

Currently, there is no single unambiguous interpretation of the concepts " low-rise house, "mid-rise building", "multi-storey building", "high-rise building" "high-rise building". On the Internet, you can find various definitions of such concepts and the classification of buildings by height and number of storeys.

Not only in Russia, but also in the world, there are no uniform criteria for the concepts: "multi-storey building", "high-rise building" and others.

Usually residential buildings and buildings in Russia are classified by number of storeys:

low-rise - 1-2 floors;

average number of floors - 3-5 floors;

multi-storey - 6 or more floors;

high number of storeys - 11-16 floors;

high-rise - more than 16 floors.

In all cases, it is important to remember that project documentation some in terms of height, area and other characteristics of buildings and houses do not require mandatory examination. This group of houses and buildings can be attributed to a special category that is in increasing demand.

In 1976, the height classification was adopted at the CIB symposium.

Structures with a height of up to 30 m are classified as high-rise buildings, up to 50, 75 and 100 m - respectively, to I, II and III categories multi-storey buildings, over 100 m - to high-altitude.

Within the group high-rise buildings usually resort to an additional subgroup with a gradation of 100 m.

The number of skyscrapers with a height of more than 400 m around the world is no more than 20; height from 300 to 400 - no more than 50, from 200 to 300 - about 150, and buildings from 100 to 200 m - several thousand, and the number of such buildings is rapidly increasing.

For the classification of skyscrapers, the criterion of height in meters was adopted, and not number of storeys, since the height of the floors is taken to be different depending on the purpose of the building and the requirements of national design standards.
The framework of the classification adopted by the CIB is not rigid, and in different countries may vary according to established design traditions and codes.

In Russia, the practice of multi-storey mass housing construction and design standards were previously focused on building heights up to 75 m.Therefore, there is a tendency to refer to high-rise buildings above 75 m.

On a note

In terms of number of storeys, the existing classifications are rather arbitrary and ambiguous.

For example, buildings are classified according to the number of storeys: low-rise (up to 5 storeys), medium-rise (5-12 storeys), high-rise (more than 12 storeys);

It is customary to call a high-rise building with a height of more than 75 m (more than 25 floors).

According to the totality of requirements regarding the degree of durability, fire resistance and other operational qualities, all buildings are divided into four classes:
I - large industrial and public buildings, residential buildings of 9 floors and more with increased operational and architectural requirements;
II - most small industrial and public buildings, residential buildings up to 9 floors;
III - buildings with average operational and architectural requirements, residential buildings up to 5 floors;
IV - temporary buildings with minimal operational and architectural requirements.

To purchase a residential project multi-storey building contact us in any way convenient for you, indicated on the site.

There is a 100-storey building and two glass bottles... If you throw a bottle out of a window on a floor, it will either break or not. For what is the minimum number of throws you can determine the floor from which the bottles are broken? An unbreakable bottle can be thrown again.

1. Binary search is not suitable. only two bottles.

2. The general solution is as follows:

- we divide the building into sections (for example, 10 sections of 10 floors).

- we use the first bottle to determine in which section the bottles begin to break, (i.e. we throw the bottle from the 10th, 20, 30, ..., 100th floor until it breaks, or if it doesn’t break on the 100th floor, it means strong bottles turned out).

- we use the second bottle to determine the specific floor of the section (i.e., for example, the bottle broke on the 40th floor; starting from the 31st floor and higher, we sequentially throw the second bottle until we determine the desired floor).

In this example, the maximum number of throws is 19 times(i.e. in the worst case, 10 sections = 10 times + 9 times to iterate over all floors in a section).

Now let's consider a variant of a more optimal division of the floors of the building.

Let's simplify the task. Let it be cottage... How many throws are required? One. And if there are two floors? Two throws. And if three?

| 1 | 2 | 3 |

If there is one section (i.e. all three floors in one section), then following the above algorithm, we throw from the 3rd floor, if it breaks, we throw it from the 1st, if it does not break, we throw it from the 2nd. It turns out 3 throws.

Divide into two sections

| 1 | 2 | | 3 | (it is possible and so | 1 | | 2 | 3 | but in this case all the same 3 throws - from the 1st, 3rd, 2nd, i.e. not good)

So, we throw from the 2nd, did not crash - we throw from the 3rd, crashed - we throw from the 1st. Total 2 throws.

1. The most optimal division is such that each subsequent section contains 1 floor less than the previous one (if the section is the last, then it contains all the remaining floors).

2. Maximum amount throws is equal to the number of floors in the very first section.

3. A certain pattern appears, it is not clear only how to calculate it

Number of floors | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | … | 100 | ...

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Number of throws | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 7 | … | 14 | ...

Thus, we divide the 100-storey building into the following 12 sections (the first section is 14 floors, the second is 13, etc., the last is 1 floor)

| 1 .. 14 | | 15 .. 27 | | 28 .. 39 | | 40 .. 50 | | 51 .. 60 | | 61 .. 69 | | 70 .. 77 | | 78 .. 84 | | 85 .. 90 | | 91 .. 95 | | 96 .. 99 | | 100 |

With this division, the maximum number of throws will be 14 .

And the method of finding the minimum number of throws itself may look something like this

Int CalculateAttempts (int floors)
{
int sum = 0, i = 1;
for (; i<= floors; i++)
{
sum + = i;
if (sum> = floors) return i;
}
return -1;
}

The well-known catch phrase “Size doesn't matter” refers to many things, but not buildings. Since ancient times, man has been trying to reach the sky, inventing various devices and inventions. Today, the upper floors of the tallest buildings in the world (skyscrapers) are "soaring in the clouds." We invite you to take a tour of the 10 tallest skyscrapers in the world, which amaze with their grandeur:
