CONCEPT
The Climate in Egypt is dry, Hot and dominated by desert. Therefore, tall glass towers are very energy consuming, so by using kinetic shading devices that senses the sun’s motion to close and open accordingly and the use of photovoltaic glass in the curtain walls not only decreases the energy consumption of the building but also generate energy that can be used in running the building.
