I must have some strange attraction to skyscrapers that I was unaware of. Via Gizmodo, is this concept skyscraper that actually is a wind turbine. Each floor individually spins in the wind. Sounds cool for sure, but those top floors might act more like a gravitron ride at the county fair. Wheeeee!

Another Powerful Skyscraper

The Tower of Burj al-Taqa
Via MetaEfficient, this Dubai skyscraper will generate enough energy to be completely self sustainable. Powered by a wind turbine and solar panels, the behemoth might end up being the most environmentally friendly building constructed on this large a scale. Utilizing seawater to cool air sucked in at the base of the structure, even the air conditioning system has gone green. Treehuggers across Dubai are rejoicing.
