Amazing Buildings
January 10, 2009
Beside telco, maybe my other deep interest will be architecture and building design. I always amazed by skyscrapers building like Taipei 101 which has a gigantic 660 tons stabilizer ball on the peak level:
or any weird design like Bird’s Nest stadium in China:
But I think it’s useless how tremendeous the design or the shape of the building is, if it just symbolize human’s prestige without consider the ‘Green’ spirit of environmental aspect. That’s why lately, we often to hear the so-called Green Building. And how they made these green building is very very awesome….
So many aspects to be calculated, or brilliant ideas for environmental purpose are done to made a green skyscraper such as Hears Tower on New York:
I’ll write more about green building, but before that.. I have to do a little research about these Green Buildings. And one more thing.. most of green building’s pre-design are rejected to be implemented since Green Building usually cost 10-15% more than usual building with the same dimension.
OK, let me see a couple episodes of Friends first… 
The main problem of people is that they dont watch in futurte. so they think 10-15% of cost they menage to save in building proces is so much. but they dont think abouth save of money that provides “green” building. in hotel using solar panels to warm water menage to save money in 1 year wath was cost of solar panels, so after 1 year all hot wather is for free. an that is wry much save!
yeap, but greedy people often only see the short-term benefits, goran. without thinking further for the future.
