Its green, clean and is a revolutionary design by the designers and architects at the ARXX Studio. These twin towers might just find their place in Dubai, and are self-sustaining. The twins, known as the Gullwing Twin Wind Towers, are unique. They use an energy-generating system that incorporates the use of wind turbine hinges attached to the building that help generate electricity from wind. The circular structures, or wings, drive turbines, cylindrical with circular sections each with a series of bladed rings to capture the wind to generate green energy. And if you\u2019re still wondering why these towers couldn\u2019t be designed to stand up straight like every other skyscraper we come across, get a hold of this. The curvy structure was so designed, to create a tornado effect. In short, the buildings will work as two living tornados, producing energy.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nAnd with this, architecture gets a greener shade with concepts that might seem out-worldly, but are just as practical!<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gullwing-Twin-Wind-Towers-2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Gullwing-Twin-Wind-Towers-2.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"356\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gullwing-Twin-Wind-Towers-3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Gullwing-Twin-Wind-Towers-3.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"326\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gullwing-Twin-Wind-Towers-4.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Gullwing-Twin-Wind-Towers-4.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"324\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecofriend.org\/entry\/gullwing-twin-wind-tower-skyscraper-is-wrapped-with-wind-turbines\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Ecofriend<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first look, these towers looked more like the spiny spiky legs of an overturned spider.
