Klyukin’s designs are to say the very least, diverse; as they are mostly conceptual designs that are not planned to be built in the near future, they are also rather daring and experimental. His concepts include a massive fighter jet-shaped skyscraper standing on its tail, a volcano-like building with real fire inside and of course his proposal for the city of Monaco, the gleaming Monaco Comet. What really caught our eye however, are Klyukin’s skyscrapers inspired by the Ancient Greek statues, namely the Aphrodite of Milos and the Nike of Samothrace: considered two of the most celebrated sculptures in the world, for Vasily Klyukin they embody the essence of Beauty and Victory, two concepts that fit quite naturally with the ambitious spirit of designing such architectural legends. The Nike building is especially remarkable with its awe-inspiring span of wings illuminating the evening sky.

Vasily Klyukin’s imaginative work has been published by Italian publishing house Skira as a luxurious hardcover edition. Titled ''Vasily Klyukin: Designing Legends'', the book contains some 300 images from some 50 of Klyukin’s visionary designs, embedded in real images of the world’s most famous cities, in turn transforming existing urban skylines with his designs. The book was published in September 2013 in Italy by Skira Editore, and will be released in the USA and the rest of the world in June 2014.
