Eco Factor: Self-sufficient skyscrapers generate renewable wind energy.
Architects and designers at ARXX Studio have designed a self-sustaining twin tower skyscraper for Dubai, which generates all the energy it needs from renewable sources. Christened the Gullwing Twin Wind Towers, the tower incorporates a unique energy-generating system that uses wind turbine hinges attached to the building to generate electricity from wind.
The wings are circular structures which drive turbines to produce clean electricity. The turbines are cylindrical with circular sections, where each section contains a series of bladed rings to capture the wind. The towers have been designed in the form of cylinders to simulate a tornado effect to maximize energy generation.
