They wasted Wes Lee’s life for 5 years, they didnt care about him in the slightest, signed him just so other people couldn’t use him.

International Center for Science, Informatics and New Technologies “House-Window to the III Millennium”. Moscow
Design engineer Vladimir Travush, 1990s
In the 1990s, a symbol of scientific breakthrough was supposed to appear on the reconstructed Gagarin Square - the International Center for Science, Informatics and New Technologies “House-Window to the III Millennium”. The architectural solution was part of a large-scale concept for the development of a key capital hub.
One of the main developers of the Center’s design scheme was Vladimir Travush - an outstanding design engineer, academician, and author of load-bearing systems for a number of unique Russian high-rises.
According to the project, the Center for Science, Informatics and New Technologies is a huge parallelepiped consisting of two blocks measuring 160 × 160 m and 17 m thick, located parallel to each other. The load-bearing frame of the building is placed outside and forms its high-tech appearance, the futurism of which is enhanced by a huge round opening framed by glass ring shafts of panoramic elevators.
The project was ahead of its time, but remained unrealized. More about it - in the chapter from the book “Engineer-designer Vladimir Travush”
