COR Tower: Chad Oppenheim on Sustainable Architecture

[iLOVENATURE2011]

yes, sustainable architecture might be quiet expensive but thinking about its long term effects it is economically efficient. Plus it is nature-friendly.

Disappointing... Horizontal winds turbines on buildings do not work for any number of reasons. 1) Wind turbulence at those heights and with that boxy design would be too erratic for any real power generation and 2) Wind gusts from the turbulence would cause dangerous stresses on the structural elements of the building (stress fractures = building fall down). Chad's a better PR agent than designer, although anything that brings more awareness to sustainable building practices is good.

Corb had it wrong. Building are not machines to live in. Buildings are living organisms.

The "glass box boys" Wright disliked must be rolling in their graves because of all the sustainable architecture being erected. --Wind turbines in buildings spoiling perfect modernity - oh goodness no! lol!

The world needs more sustainable architecture please!
