Tower for Vital Energi CHP Energy Centre, Manchester, United Kingdom
Tonkin Liu has won a competition for a 40 m flue tower and a facade enclosing the new Vital Energi CHP Energy Centre. The project will be a permanent addition to Manchester's skyline and streetscape. The Tower of Light captures the energy of the sky to make an enduring and animated symbol of our time. By using solar and wind power, the sculptural landmark celebrates Manchester's low-carbon ambition and Climate Change Action Plan.
