The centre of the academy acts as a greenhouse, with green plants, which is surrounded by areas for classrooms and auditoriums. Solar panels follow the rounded lines of the building and can adjust to the position of the sun. A similar example is a building whose basic shape is a large glass sphere in which there is a park. The building's main source of energy is a photovoltaic system placed on its south side and on the top of the building.
On the next building a sloping façade is used. Here a waterfall is placed, which turns a turbine that produces electrical energy. The sloping façade is also used for the placing of solar panels, on account of its ideal angle towards the sunlight.
Another proposal is a cylindrical building with seven floors covered with semi-transparent brown solar panels the colour of bark. As well as a photovoltaic system, wind generators would also be installed. On the top of the building there would be a green oasis for strolling and relaxation.
