Airtree named building produces Energy Oxygen and Friends

airtree.jpgYeah I am not kidding. The pictured building is a structure that is currently build in Madrid, Spain and is so unique and cool it almost hyperstunning and could transform the world as we know it in a heartbeat (well almost).
The building collects energy through good old solarcells, it then sells the energy to the corporate energy grid, meanwhile it produces a bit more energy and helps itself to be - well - selfsufficient. Still not convinced? Well it uses some of that energy to produce Oxygen - thats right - so I guess it takes out the C in the airs CO2 and release the Os. Too green for you? Well it also serves as a public gathering place of some sort (read: kickass futuristic concert hall) so it also produces friends and keeps the local community together.
This is a total all in one wonder building that has no predessors as far as I know and could revolutionize the way we look at buildings in the future - they could become all Oxygen and Energy producing trees and meanwhile be friendly to the people living around them like the Oaks used to be for the germans who gathered underneath them and used them for energy and they made Oxygen too :) This concept is also the total opposite to polluting coal/oil and cancerous nuclear energy generators of last century.
