Solar carved towers

Article Title:
 Solar carve tower means not to intrude

Article Source:
I got my article from Gizmag

Summary: 
There biulding a 213 foot high skyscrapper in New York. Studio Gang Architects are responsible for the design of the biulding. The solar Carve tower is named for its tapered design. The reason it is carved out that away is so it is never in direct sunlight.

Reaction:
I think it is crazy how they can biuld a biulding with those types of curves and it actually be safe. From the outside of the biulding it looks like it could just be blown over by the wind. The solar carve tower is a real work of art.      

World Impact:
I think it will have a pretty big world impact because if people realize they can save a lot of money by just changing the shape of the biulding so that it is never in direct sunlight. If the biulding is never in direct sunlight that means it want get as hot as the other biulding that sit in the sun all day. Which cuts down on airconditioning cost. This could also be a bad thing because in the winter when its cold the biulding want really get anysun light which means they will have to spend more money on heating the biulding.
