    We all would want a share in saving our environment and doing our bit to turn the earth into a green globe. One such innovative way is by simply living in a turbine that harvests wind energy which will be used to produce electricity. Sounds cool right? Well, the idea is unquestionably cool. On Office is now focusing its thoughts on what will be known as the Turbine City, if all goes well. Set off the coast of Norway, the country that is considered ideal for its weather conditions to harvest offshore wind energy, the Turbine City will also help increase tourism (the views from these structures built in the middle of the ocean will be spectacular, and enough to grab the attention of photography geeks all over the world). To power the entire facility, just 1MW of the 8MW produced by the facility itself will be used to power it up. These awesome structures will be architectural symbols of the future and will also help turn the world greener in its own way. Now living in a wind turbine is a dream no longer!
