University of Technology Sydney Tower gets a green hi-tech skin

The ugliest building in Sydney, Australia gets a make over. The University of Technology Sydney Tower will have a photovoltaic sack that will cover up the building and help in beautifying it too. The guys at LAVA, an Australian firm, have designed this concept and christened it “Tower Skin”. This sack will help the building confirm to green standards and regulations. The Tower Skin is designed to collect solar energy, rainwater and also help improve the natural lighting of the building. Besides this, the building will also show off its beauty at night by lighting up.

This project by LAVA helps put forward an idea that involves the refurbishment of old buildings instead of having them grounded and rebuilt upon. So will the ugliest building in Sydney get its long awaited and well deserved makeover? We wait and watch!
