Night scene from viewing platform of TV Tower, Tashkent

            Rising 375 m above the city, Tashkent’s TV Tower is the tallest structure in Central Asia. The decision to construct the tower was made on 1 September 1971 in order to spread TV and radio signals to all over Uzbekistan. It took 6 years to complete, starting in 1979, and was, until 1991, the third-highest tower in the world (it is no longer in the top 10 these days). The tower has an observation deck located 97 metres (318 ft) above the ground.
The architects responsible, D Semashko and N Terziev-Tzarukova, were tasked with coming up with a design capable of withstanding earthquakes up to 9.0 on the Richter scale, and their solution was the lattice-style trunk supported by three inclined slips, which ensure the building’s steadiness and give an impression of lightness. Engineers Morozov and Musheev decorated the tower. The tower’s foyer was decorated with mosaic panels of semi-precious stones, marble and metal in the style of Florentine and Roman mosaics.
