Every Sunday, Jetson Green features a different green skyscraper, and flat out, I’m amazed at the innovation architects and engineers are putting into these towering eco-phallics. So, in the spirit of looking at what we can do with modern technology, I thought it would be fun to highlight an article called "Uber-Eco-Towers: The Top Ten Green Skyscrapers," by Jon Schroeder for EcoGeek. Building on the hype from the recent sustainable skyscraper design conference (link), Jon has a list of what he’s determined to be the top ten green towers. Here they are from top to bottom:
- The Bahrain World Trade Center Towers
- The Pearl River Tower
- Bank of America Tower – One Bryant Park
- The Lighthouse Tower
- The CIS Tower
- The Hearst Tower
- The Burj al-Taqa – Energy Tower
- Waugh Thistleton Residential Tower
- 340 on the Park
- The Urban Cactus
Looks like 7 of the 10 that made Jon’s cut have been featured previously on Jetson Green. I’ll make sure to write an article on the other 3 buildings detailing their accomplishments. Nice list EcoGeek…
