The Smart Tower
Portland Spaces features an article about a proposed smart tower
Late last year, Portland Parks & Recreation released a “request for proposals” – or RFP – for the old Portland Visitors Information Center, aka McCall’s Restaurant. Who would have expected that one of the applicants would imagine the tallest, most radical addition to the city’s skyline in history: a 650-foot spire festooned with more than 250 wind turbines.
This innovative project, while not without some controversy, represents the kind of approach we need to take in order to begin solving the pending energy crisis.
