Eco Factor: Sustainable architecture carries a wind electricity generating façade.

We’ve seen some brilliant green architectural marvels that one day or the other will actually be built to refine the urban lifestyle. The Tornado Tower by Vision Division in collaboration with Svens Standard, is another such conceptual structure that gives much more than it takes. The stunning piece of architecture has been designed with stunning abilities as well. The façade of the tower is lined with curved fins that harness the high altitude winds and converts them into useful electricity.

The energy generated by the Tornado Tower will not just provide electricity for the tower’s art center, but will be enough to power an entire city. The top of the tower houses a Grand Theater, which is covered in pearls and backlit by soft lights that may be adjusted to cater to specific moods.
