Ancient technologies in a new vision: a large-scale project in Silicon Valley

A large-scale futuristic design will appear soon in Silicon Valley, located in the Arena Green Green recreation park (San Jose, California). This was announced by representatives of the architectural company SMAR Architecture Studio.

A project by Australian designers Fernando Jerez and Belen Perez de Juan won the Urban Confluence Silicon Valle competition, which was attended by nearly 1000 representatives from 92 countries. The competition was founded by the San Jose Light Tower Corporation. The goal of the organization is to recreate in the region a structure similar to Owen's lighting observation tower, which existed from 1881 to 1915.

The project, dubbed the Breeze of Innovation, is a giant tower that doubles as an electric generator. The structure will be made of 500 steel rods installed around the perimeter. From the impact of the wind, the rods will begin to generate electricity. There will be enough energy to power the entire structure and the lamps that are present on each of the poles. The height of the towers will reach 61 meters. Inside the building there will be a restaurant and a conference room. An observation deck with a panoramic view of Silicon Valley will be located at the top of the project.

“Silicon Valley is both the past and the future at the same time. Our project is dynamic and lively. Climbing to the top of the tower, viewers will get indescribable emotions and plunge into memories of the past life of Silicon Valley, ”said Fernando Jerez.

At the moment, the company is raising funds for the construction of the tower from investors and is preparing the necessary documents. Once all organizational issues are settled, SMAR Architecture Studio will begin large-scale construction.

Those who are also now engaged in construction or repairs are invited to this section. There you will find everything you need for this purpose.
