# Green Skyscrapers Chicago Clean Technology Tower By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-04-01 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicagos-green-building-adrian-smith-and-gordon-gills-clean-technology-towe References: [igreenspot](http://www.igreenspot.com/clean-technology-tower-features-atrium-of-wind-turbines/) The "Clean Technology Tower" was designed by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill. This tower would be built in Chicago, Illinois as an energy-efficient structure with a focus on wind turbines. I know nothing about wind-generated energy. All I know is that harnessing the wind is one of the cleanest, most sustainable ways to generate electricity. Wind power produces no toxic emissions and none of the heat trapping emissions that contribute to global warming. This is a beautiful design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wind Power Revolution:** The advancement of wind power technology and infrastructure can lead to a revolution in clean and sustainable energy generation, opening up business opportunities for developers and investors. - **Green Architecture:** The trend towards energy-efficient and sustainable architecture presents opportunities for companies involved in architectural design, engineering, and green building materials. - **Renewable Energy Innovation:** Innovative approaches to utilizing renewable energy sources like wind power can transform the energy landscape and create new business opportunities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** Companies involved in the manufacturing and distribution of wind turbines, solar panels, and other forms of renewable energy technologies can capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. - **Architecture & Engineering:** Architects, engineers, and construction companies can take advantage of the trend towards green architecture by incorporating sustainable design principles into their projects. - **Clean Energy Development:** The development of clean energy infrastructure, such as wind farms, presents new business opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Low-Carbon Biomimetic Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonkin-liu.md) - [Staggered Tower Texan Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1550-on-the-green.md) - [Rain-Collecting Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bpas-architects.md) - [Rooftop Walkway-Topped Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenzhen-energy-ring.md) - [Organic Striking Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leaves.md) - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Feminine Silhouette Tall Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telus-sky-tower.md) - [Concrete Residential Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huergo-475.md)
