Shenzen City in China has now jumped on the sustainability bandwagon and is about the show the world how it is done with Shenzhen 4 Tower 1 with their city planners, engineers, construction equipment and work force.Photovoltaic cells will be integrated to the wave-like outer skin of the 49m building with mechanisms that will increase wind resistance, provide shade for the tenants inside, provide natural ventilation and display advertising banners. The outer skin will also be partially powered by wind energy.
The building will also be sectioned. Offices will be at the top, public areas on the bottom and conferences, meetings and gardens in the middle.
