Twisted but fully transparent building.


The technological advances made by China should make Japan gasp, America awe and India jealous.
The Chinese are making the world to sit and watch them progress with silent admiration.

In November 2008, the ground was broken in Shanghai to construct a 128 story tower that's design appears twisted. It is going to be the fully transparent building in the world to withstand the vagaries of summer and winter. This concept is to help insulate it and thereby reduce the amount of energy needed to keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The building will be fully powered by wind turbines.
The building will recycle the water it collects from the rain.
There are totally 9 building that will be stacked on top of one other.
Each building will house office complex, residences, a hotel and space for entertainment.

This building will be ready in 2014.
