Triple Airfoil Towers

Quote:
Triple Airfoil Towers


This scheme consists of towers linked vertically for alternative vertical circulation opportunities, in response to the growing concerns for security in high-rise buildings. The linkages provide quick exists at rush hours as well as in emergencies. Co-supportive structural interaction, concentration and acceleration of wind flow onto centrally located wind turbines with sky gardens are at cross over points. Shapes of the towers focus and accelerate wind flow through the middle slot onto vertical axis wind turbines.
