Harnessing Natural Energy in the DIgital Age    

​

As valuable  natural resources continue decrease, architecture should continue to restructure itself as a  resource producer. Harnessing natural elements of our everyday life, the sun, wind, and rainwater have and  will play even more of a pivotal role in architecture. By analyzing the fluctuating patterns of seasons,  architecture can capture more energy than it needs during certain seasons, saving it throughout the course  of the year in a process that resembles hibernation.  Using rainwater to as a means for creating hydroelectricity, gusting winds to create wind energy, as well as  the sun for solar energy, the proposed tower collects energy to fulfill its own needs as well as to distribute  energy to neighboring buildings acting as a power ­source to the city.
