The Energy Cube will probably bring a few things to mind, including the disco era and Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' music video. Although it definitely does have quite the psychedelic presence, there is more to it than simply looks.
Conceived by Lindner Group, a company hailing from Arnstorf, Germany, the Energy Cube was built for Konstanz Municipal Utility's new customer center. It boasts a high-power solar facade that possess technical properties that are "quite unique worldwide, and only six months ago would have been inconceivable," stated by Arnold Wild, Head of the Construction and Real Estate Dept. at the utility and the designer of the Energy Cube. This four-storey building that generates more energy than it consumes, which is surprising considering its colorful, nighttime show.
