Here's something i want to see AN AWFUL LOT MORE of in the coming year! Imagine if you will an office tower, where by day the plate-glass windows are semi-transparent solar cells
(you can see out, like a tinted window) while it collects solar energy to help the buildings energy needs (i mean, this alone would be worth writing about..... office towers being transformed into energy generating plants!). And then at night, things turn even funkier!
the same film that encases the Photovoltaics is also a great membrane for rear-screen projections. This essentially turns every plate-glass window into a movie screen by night (!) the potential for advertising is staggering, but i get even more giddy thinking about the visuals that some of my VJ friends do and imagining them blasted onto a 50 story building! Move over Bladerunner, we have a new architectural giant to contend with! ( from Japan's MSK Corporation )
