CP 000682 | Flame Towers in Baku, Azerbaijan

Since 2012, the city of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, has had a striking complex of high-rise buildings: the Baku Flame Towers. The construction consists of three towers, which have the shape of a flame, with a maximum height of 623 ft. The flame shape, designed by HOK Architects, was inspired by the importance of fire for the town, as there is a high number of oil wells in the region.
