NAME:
In the ancient world there were many wonders. The seven wonders of the ancient world were
truly amazing architectural structures, some of which are still around today. But in the world
we live in today there are even more spectacular wonders, far more than seven. They are
located all over the world in different countries; built by people of all nations, cultures and
languages. Now here, there are just a few of these amazing wonders, some of the 21st
century’s wonders of the world.
San Francisco Federal Building: The San Francisco federal building, located in
San Francisco, is an 18-story home for federal workers; it was the first office tower
in the U.S. to eliminate air-conditioning, over 70% percent of its area. It
accomplishes this through a computer- controlled skin that actively adjust to
weather changes. Its narrow floor plate allows for natural ventilation, while metal
sun screens shade the floor-to-ceiling windows. And even more impressive are
the skip-stop elevators, sky gardens, and open stairs that allow employees to
work and interact with one another.
Chanel: Chanel, Tokyo, Japan. The glass facade of Chanel’s store in Tokyo
lights up the night with 700,000 embedded LEDs; the massive display can show
an electronic version of the brand’s signature black-and white tweed pattern, or
a video of a fashion show. The electronic mural can also transform from
transparent to opaque, thanks to a combination of 3,675 square feet of canvas
scrim and electronically controlled privacy glass. That makes this structure truly
remarkable.
