The Welt

One of the greatest architectural masterpieces in the 21st century is also one of the most Eco-friendly. The BMW Welt building in Munich, is an engineering marvel that contains an incredible 800 kilowatt solar energy station on its roof. The building is heated through the solar energy it collects, and specially modified interior surfaces help to increase natural ventilation and temperature levels. Natural vegetation is also strategically placed throughout the building to help natural rid the air of dust particles. Its an incredible example of green technologies that doesn't take away from the aesthetic experience.
