Sleek Sustainable Energy Skyscrapers

SOM Designs Iconic 99 Story Energy Tower in Jakarta

— December 13, 2013 — Eco
The Jakarta skyline will soon have a new landmark in the year 2020, as American architectural design firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has designed and created the headquarters for energy company Pertamina. The 99 story-high 'Pertamina Energy Tower' located in Jakarta is a 530 meter-high structure that will tower over all the buildings in Indonesia.

It is twice as high as Wisma 46, currently the tallest building in Indonesia. The building was designed to appeal to the ideals of sustainable design, with a wind funnel incorporated into the design located at the top of the structure to convert wind into usable electricity and energy for the entire building.

Not only is the building strikingly sleek, it is also fully functional. Even down to its geographic location, the structure is built to regulate the internal temperature of the building throughout the 365 days of the year.

Trend Themes
1. Vertical Energy-generating Structures - There are opportunities for creating tall buildings that incorporate renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar, to generate electricity and be more sustainable.
2. Sustainable Architectural Design - The trend of incorporating sustainable design principles in architecture is growing, creating opportunities for innovative and environmentally-friendly building solutions.
3. Skyscraper Construction and Design - The construction and design industry for skyscrapers is evolving, with advancements in materials, technologies, and techniques opening up new possibilities for iconic architectural structures.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can explore the development of vertical structures that can harness wind or solar power to generate clean electricity.
2. Architecture - The architecture industry can embrace sustainable design principles and incorporate renewable energy sources into their building projects, creating more eco-friendly and energy-efficient structures.
3. Construction - The construction industry can leverage advancements in materials and techniques to construct taller and more visually striking skyscrapers that integrate sustainable features.
