Disagreeing with the ‘Eurosky Tower’ by Franco Purini, located in a modern area on the outskirts of Rome, italian architects paolo venturella + angelo balducci have delivered an alternative concept. Examining the idea of ‘integration’ between architecture and renewable energy, the architects offer a radically different shape for the same building called ‘the twilt tower’ the name is based on a combination of the words ‘twisted’ and ‘twilted’. The tower integrates photovoltaic panels not just on the roof but evenly across the volume, dictating its form. The tilting and rotating of the panels towards the sun’s rays, allows for direct sun radiation throughout the whole day.
