Green Tower is a high-rise multi-use building designed for the Malaysian tropics.

It gyrates with slight winds providing power generation through large solenoid lined dynamos in the vertical transport shafts. Rainwater is harvested down the trunk that is shaped like an ant-hill with facade channels to catch the wind. All living and working spaces attached unto this trunk and enjoys the shade, energy and resources of this bio-living tower.
