For starters ... the future world's tallest building. Crystal Island
Located in Moscow called Crystal Island in terms of efficiency monolithic buildings like this seem unnecessary, but the proposed dimensions are amazing: it will have 1,500 feet (450 meters) and 26,909,776 feet covered square (about 8,202,100 meters square) which is enough space to hold 30,000 people.
As you would expect from Foster + Partners, the "self-contained city in the city" has renewable energy systems in the heart of the design. Crystal Island will generate low-emission energy of carbon from solar panels and wind turbines located in the building with vast atriums to regulate the air temperature during winter and summer. Wave
tower designed by the English group A-zero for the central bank of Dubai, this "wavy tower" will be located just above the water. A long, undulating plane creates a bridge at the base of the tower, then folds q and up joining one of the glass sides of the structure. The indoor gardens or "sky gardens" will be located in strategic areas, improving air quality and working as natural temperature regulators. Reflective glass shape help control the heat of the sun. The tower will also contain a water purification plant, this will desalinate and purify the sea water surrounding the tower q and then filtered to leave it as drinking water, to maintain the gardens and drainage.
The tower shall have 92 storeys and 370 meters high when completed. Contain offices, shopping malls and luxury apartments.
China Hotel ecological
The hotel was designed by the Atkins group, is an excellent example of the incorporation of a building to an existing site. The 400-room resort will be built near Shanghai in a pool of 100 meters Prof. La cantera proveerá protección del clima y reducirá las necesidades energéticas del hotel. El complejo contendrá restaurants, cafés, gimnasios, e incluso tendrá áreas públicas bajo el agua.
El hotel estará terminado en 2009. El hotel también estará cubierto con un techo ecológico y usara energía geotermal para electricidad y calor.
El edificio más alto de Tailandia (y es ecológico ^_^)
Asia generalmente se queda atrás de EE.UU. y Europa en términos de edificios ecológicos. Este edificio está localizado en la costa del thai resort en Pattaya (el puerto madero de Tailandia).
Designed by the firm Bagost Woods, the building (to be completed in 2010) will own solar cells built into the tower, glass with automatic shading to reduce indoor temperature, 80% of water used is recycled for toilets and then treated for outdoor use and energy efficient appliances will save residents q 30% of electricity, the elevators also reduce energy consumption by 98% compared to normal and operating at the same speeds. Will use a sort of "regenerative braking" to achieve this.
Burj al-Taqa (Energy Tower)
This building to be built in Dubai will generate 100% q consume energy. The tower will have a huge (60metros) wind turbine on the roof, and 50,000 square meters of solar panels. The additional power will be provided by an island of solar panels.
The cylindrical shape of Burj al-Taqa is designed to expose to the sun the least possible surface. A solar shield from floor to ceiling, covering 60 degrees of the giant building.
The building's facade will be built with a new generation of vacuum glazing q will be released in 2008. New high quality windows is designed to protect the interior of the tower from outside heat (essential in a region where the temperature outside reaches 50 degrees C in summer).
Seawater will be used to cool the air. Three large cooling units in the giant basement will lower the temperature to 18 ° C. Pipelines move the air to clear large spaces and then to the corridors and offices. Designers want to use steel cables hanging gardens set within air ducts, transforming an architectural flaw in a feature different from other buildings.
The Burj al-Taqa seems to be the latest example of the q trend will prevail in large cities like Chicago, New York or Paris, cities will inherit a new q green wave in the construction of tall buildings.
Burj al Arab (Arab Tower)
The famous boat-shaped building in Dubai. The Burj al Arab was designed by Atkins and partners is a luxury hotel is located on an artificial island 270 meters off the coast of Dubai. The hotel is listed as seven stars, a category that goes beyond the normal classification of hotels, from 1 to 5, because of truly exceptional characteristics that differentiate it from any other hotel in the world. The Burj al-Arab does not have regular rooms but has 202 double suites. The smallest of these suites has an area of \u200b\u200b169 square meters while the largest covers an area of \u200b\u200b780 m². The Royal suite is worth $ 28,000 at night. Service also has a rolls royce luxury car available for each guest.
Al burj.
Initially, the Al Burj would be placed in the center of the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah artificial island and its height would be 700 meters and 120 floors. Given the stiff competition from other designs of towers and buildings around the world, Burj Al wanted to give a height of one mile (1600 meters). Subsequently, the height of the gigantic building underwent several redesigns, one of 1200 m and 200 floors, as modified by the current design of 228 apartments 1050 m, which is to be constructed. This height of 1050 m is higher than its local rival, the Burj Dubai's 818 m, and is itself more than twice as tall as the Empire State of New York. In late 2006, it was relocated to a section of Dubai Waterfront, a kind of artificial peninsula built like the Palm Islands and instead, will build the Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai.
Burj Dubai The tallest building in the world.
