Tower of Power skyscraper for Cities

NL Architects recently unveiled plans for an energy-generating "Tower of Power" in Taiwan that utilizes 600 wind turbines to produce 6 MW of electricity for the city. In addition to its renewable energy generating capabilities, the landmark tower would provide an observation deck, meeting space, office space, a museum, and parking. The lace-like skyscraper combines practical mixed use space with the ability to produce an impressive amount of clean power for the city.
