A German architecht wants to build office towers that produce their own energy. It would be 68 storeys high. "The cylindrical shape presents the minimum surface area to the sun, and a solar shield covers 60 degrees of the building. This will reduce the need for air conditioning." It would be built close to the sea so that sea water could be used to help cool the building. Also, the roof will have a 197 ft wind turbine & 161,459 square feet of solar cells.
