In another example of the fact that anything is possible through technology, money, and design, Coop Himmelblau has put forward this creation:

The facade’s design is driven by solar and wind powered energy generation. The second skin of the building will be lined with photovoltaic cells and will feature mechanisms to provide natural ventilation, reduce wind pressure, shade the interior from sun and display multimedia banners. The use of sun and wind as renewable energy sources will increase energy efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuel energy.

Of Course, that just leaves a couple 10,000 other buildings in Shenzhen to retrofit…Anyone know of a retrofit project in progress?
