Finding renewable resources seems to be something we as a resource abusers can't find a solution to. Designer/Architect, Michael Jantzen works hard solving potential problems due to over population and consumption of resources. The 'Wind Shaped Pavillion' is made of various floors each of which individually rotate on wheels. By the act of wind, the floors rotate turning a generator in which produces power to those who call this building home.Not only does the building look extremely modern and complex, it actually serves a purpose. Toronto is a large city currently stuck with lack of power and space. Perhaps ideas such as this would be good for Toronto to look into for the new future, instead of placing out of place windmills along the Lakeshore.

Wouldn't the novelty wear off pretty quick anyways? I dont know, I just know that i think id prefer something a little more stable, especially since I am writing this post while 90KMH gusts of wind blast against the side of my house.
