A landmark which modifies its proportions depending on
the viewpoint and the effect of the sunlight; revealing an element in a
constant evolution. An engraved tower devoted to the wind.
The building combines renewable energy it which feeds
the city and its facilities with electricity, without needing other resources.
Taking advantage of the possibilities that it suggests, much as for its
construction as for its shape
An emblem which reveals the intense light and the
powerful wind to appraise the positive view of a society which has always taken
advantage of the surrounding elements.
The plan view is designed by means of three vertical
communication cores connected two abreast, trying to solve the commitment
between the desire to be part of the landscape and the will to trap the
wind.
The arrangement of the vertical communications and the
fact that they are connected bestow it with a good structural performance. The
pressure of the wind is always dimmed by a rigid nucleus, whereas the
orientation and the shape of the geometry allow it to change the prevailing
wind into power. The vertical axis wind turbines are arranged in the curve
areas which connect the communication cores. Both the wind turbines and the
panoramic lifts are covered by an openwork metallic skin which being permeable
to the wind together with the views confer a monolithic appearance to the
structure. The construction is developed in an obvious and simple way thanks to
the fast-speed climbing casings which make possible to materialize the built as
an icon.
Structure proposes a wind turbine system of
vertical axe, meanwhile its deep foundations based on pilings, most
characteristic of buildings in height, allows the incorporation of geothermal
energy. The volume presents wide surfaces in contact with the exterior. Here,
the vertical areas constitute the support for the photovoltaic panel, taking
advantage of its constant exposure to solar radiation. Besides, the podium’s
horizontal surface is used in the obtaining of thermoelectric energy.
