A dual tower skyscraper with working wind turbines between the towers. It is 161m high with 35 stories and 5 15m diameter wind turbines. The shape is designed to funnel the wind flow to the turbines. The towers are connected by walkways located above/below the turbines. The roofs are sloped facing south with solar panels.

The wind turbines are controlled by redstone located in the basement, using the clone command.

Please Note: When too far away, the changes don't update properly until you get closer. So, this project works better as just a skyscraper without the  turbines spinning.

This is a a very amazing looking building. Those wind turbines really add uniqueness to this structure.

Original done with the wind turbines between the two towers.
With those working turbines isn't an idea to make roof rotating following the sun. So there is optimal use for the solar panels?

The most efficient thing would be to have the solar panels track the sun. Of course in minecraft, the best I can do is slope the roof.

Can't you do the same with the roof as you did with the wind turbines. But instead of a clock using a sundetector as clock with the changing sun intensity/level? Ah well, it's a suggestion.

You want me to make the whole roof rotate? No. I can't do that. The turbines clone each stage from prebuilt stages hidden in the basement under the lobby's green water feature.
