Cool solar skyscrapers for different visual enjoyment
 |
According to foreign media reports, almost all concepts of sustainable architecture are inseparable from solar energy, but not every one of them will be a bold and innovative approach to solar energy to a new peak. The following 14 solar skyscraper designs incorporate solar cells in a novel and unexpected way, from the photovoltaic facade of existing buildings to the solar film that serves as the “living skin†of the building, all of which are eye-opening architectural designs.
1. Chicago Solar Energy Building
Chicago has at least one skyscraper that has not yet been completed due to the economic downturn. However, we still hope that the Chicago Solar Tower, proposed by the Zoka Zola Architects, will one day become a reality, bringing a very striking example of sustainable urban design to this “wind†The City (Chicago's alias). There are multiple circular solar collectors on the tracking device of the solar building facade, which can rotate in the direction of the sun all day, increasing the amount of solar panels installed on the tracking device by 40%, and even the wind that the solar panels suffer. Pressure can also be converted to clean energy.
2. Dubai Lighthouse Tower
It is true that the Lighthouse of Dubai is not entirely dependent on solar energy to maintain its operation. Although this is theoretically a goal, it is only a concept. This design includes three huge 225 kilowatt wind turbines that generate a lot of energy. At the same time, the south-facing façade covered with 4,000 photovoltaic panels will effectively absorb the endless sunshine that exists in the desert.
3. Singapore Vertical Farm
As long as economic conditions permit, Singapore may soon establish a 26-story vertical farm that will stack as many solar panels as possible into a small space of 855 square meters, making at least 40% of the building’s electricity use From solar energy. EDITT is the English acronym for "Ecological Design in the Tropics". The editt building will be constructed entirely from recycled materials and recyclable materials. Half of the facade will be planted with organic plants. In addition to using recycled materials, EDITT will also adopt environmental protection technologies such as rainwater harvesting systems and reclaimed water systems, and may also have a project to convert dirt into biogas.
4. Mexico City Cascaded Solar Skyscrapers
Stacked solar skyscrapers designed by Jorge Hernandez La Garza for Mexican capital Mexico City. This huge vertical park has solar panels installed on almost every floor, collecting solar energy for the entire city. Power supply for residential, office and leisure areas. The cascading design used by Jorge is because it allows the building to continue to expand and even rearrange if necessary, thus increasing the size of the sky gardens and urban farms.
5. Solar Film Building
The building, which is covered with solar film, was designed by Kenneth Law and Michelle Lim. It looks like a monster coming out of earth instead of a man-made building. Its facade is very unusual: not only Half of the area is exposed in the form of gardens and green spaces, and it is also covered with solar cell membranes. At the heart of this building is a hollow cylindrical structure that transports hot gas from the surface to all locations and controls the temperature of all surrounding green spaces, commercial spaces, and residential areas.
6. Amazing skyscrapers in Armenia
The "Evolving Skyscraper" designed by Vahan Misakyan, because of its unusual arrangement of flowing shapes, makes it look like it came from another planet: It It is certainly not the same as all the buildings on earth. The three curved corrugated turrets are organically combined with the top structure, and a habitable bridge structure runs through them. The skyscraper is designed for a variety of uses, such as living, working and recreation, and is covered with “smart skin†that not only absorbs solar energy to power the entire building but also collects rainwater and controls access to the building. Light.
7. Dubai 10MW Building
As the most ambitious solar skyscraper, is it possible that the 10MW Tower will become a reality? The building designed by the UAE company “Studied Impact†looks a lot less impressive than the innovative and futuristic architectural design often presented to Dubai. However, the highlight of the 10MW building is the effective use of solar energy, thanks to the 5 MB. With tile wind turbines and a 3 MW solar collection system, this 50-story building generates ten times more electricity than it actually needs.
8. Rio de Janeiro Sun City Tower
From a distance, the Solar City Tower is like a ghostly illusion - the waterfall hangs in midair and its source is not visible. The Sun City Tower was specially designed for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, giving people a shocking visual illusion. It not only looks very flattering but also does not produce any pollution “generatorsâ€: collecting solar energy during the day, at night Use pumped water to generate electricity. Sun City Tower is occasionally used as a city square and theater.
9. Dubai Vertical Farm
In the desert of Dubai, how can we make full use of solar energy while avoiding the internal overheating of buildings? One solution is to design buildings that give themselves shade. The vertical farm designed by Graft is very unique. The bottom is covered with solar panels, while the tower uses a diagonal flat shape to reduce the sun penetration. People can live in the towers, and underground there are cinemas, restaurants and shops.
10. Singapore Solar Super Tree
Traditionally, Solar Supertrees may not be called skyscrapers and look more like a combination of energy harvesters, vertical gardens, and artificial trees. They are the crowning touch to Bay South, Singapore's plant protection zone. "South Bay" will one day become Singapore's largest garden. The solar supertree reaches 30 to 55 meters into the air. It can both collect solar energy and rainwater, and it can also act as a giant decorative grid that is illuminated at night.
11. Abu Dhabi Building
According to the design, the Abu Dhabi Tower is 224 stories high. If completed, it will be the tallest building in the world and even dwarfs the 126-storey Burj Dubai. The designer Tommy Landau hopes that the Abu Dhabi government can approve this record-breaking architectural design. By the time the construction starts, the technology for covering solar panels across the entire building will also mature. Can rely entirely on solar power. Unfortunately, Abu Dhabi has already rejected this proposal. Now Landau is lobbying Saudi Arabia and hopes to have his design settled there.
12. El Mason Building
No waste water, no emissions, no external energy, this spire-shaped building was designed by the architect Robert Phillips, using 224 solar reflections placed on the roof to focus the sun on the central receiver. The Almeisan Tower also houses cafes and observation decks, all powered by solar energy generated by the building itself. In addition, the remaining power will be provided to the nearby Za'abeel Park in Dubai.
13. London Bridge Solar Vertical Farm
Over the past few hundred years, there have been many architectural designs around the notorious London Bridge, some inhabited and some uninhabited. The goal of architect Lolit Chetward is to use a new design to re-energize the London Bridge. This design is mainly reflected in two high-rise towers that use solar power. They are actually vertical farms. Absorb solar energy to meet the electricity needs of London Bridge. The food grown in the towers can be sold in London Bridge Market. In addition, the new London Bridge will have restaurants, cafes and residential areas.
14. Manchester Cooperative Insurance Building
Few wonderful projects around the world for solar construction have successfully passed the conceptual stage, but the Co-operative Insurance Tower in Manchester, England has indeed been built to become the largest vertical solar building in Europe. Perhaps this is because the cooperative insurance building already existed, and this time it was only renovated: the workers installed more than 7000 solar panels on the facade of this 40-year-old skyscraper.
