Energy architecture

Airiva is a modular, vertical wind turbine wall, designed for urban energy. It offers 2,200 kWh annually per unit. Commercial use targeted.

What does the future portend for the home? Ten international architecture firms paired with a forward-thinking manufacturers to entertain that enquiry in “China House Vision,” an exhibition assembled last fall in Beijing. MAD Architects collaborated with solar-energy equipment firm Hanergy to conjure Living Garden, a 2,200-square-foot open-sided pavilion that dismantled spatial boundaries, creating “an architectural landscape” for en plein air, or outdoor, living.

Designed by BIG, CopenHill is a waste-to-energy plant in Copenhagen that is topped with an artificial ski slope. The plant is 10 storeys tall and houses administrative space and a large education centre. It was clad in aluminium bricks that surround glazed panels that naturally illuminate the interior. The Danish press recently speculated that the ski slope would permanently close due to the deterioration of its skiing surface, but the rumours were squashed by operator Amager Bakke.

Water is at the center of this proposal for a secondary school built with and in response to the earth around it. Harnessing the energy and utility of natural earth elements, the design employs various strategies to create a continuous, closed loop of sustainable systems.

Vitryak is an important project for the studio, as it emphasizes the importance of using alternative energy sources, especially during the energy crisis we have faced. The wind will play a leading role in the transformation of the global energy sector, which is why this project is aimed at attracting attention to wind as an alternative energy source. #ModernSpaces #DesignInspiration #ModernFurniture #UrbanDesign

Sustainable architecture is the future of building design and construction. With the growing recognition of climate change, dwindling natural resources, and the escalating need for energy efficiency, the demand for green or sustainable architecture has risen significantly. Central to this progressive architectural movement is the concept, the kernel of an idea that encompasses various environmental, […]

Solar trees generating photovoltaic electricity will be installed in Chisinau in 2019. Chisinau’s inhabitants will be able to charge up for free their mobile devices, have access to the Internet and relax against the trunk of these trees. In the evenings, the trees will light up the surroundings due to the stored sun energy during the day. The initiative belongs to the United Nations Development Programme and will be implemented in partnership with the Chisinau City Hall.
