Eco Factor: Sustainable tower generates about 8MW of wind power.

An entry at the Taiwan Tower Competition, the Tower of Power by NL Architects is a 300-meter high freestanding tower with sightseeing and recreational functions. The tower incorporates 2000 flower-shaped wind turbines that generate about 8MW of renewable electric power. The striking tower hides wind turbines neatly within it to investigate how power plants of the future can be converted into objects of beauty.

The tower features an exoskeleton with a structural net wrapped around the building that together with the building’s core supports the required programmatic elements. The empty spaces in between the exoskeleton are occupied by the vertical-axis wind turbines. The wind turbines used in the tower will be strong, affordable and silent and can produce energy with wind coming in from any direction.
