How do you make a skyscraper… near-zero energy? In Guangzhou, a 170-meter tower is proving it can.

Inside China's First Near-Zero Energy Skyscraper – a new episode from Architecture Intelligence S2 takes you inside a building that generates its own power, cools itself with wind, and even turns elevator motion into electricity.

Solar skin? 8,000 sqm of panels on its facade produce nearly 25 percent of its power.
Natural AC? A "cool lane" and solar chimneys pull river breeze through the entire building.
Robots building it? An on-site "cloud factory" cuts construction time from 7 days to 4 per floor.

This isn't just a building. It's a blueprint for how future cities can grow greener, smarter, and more sustainable. Watch the full episode and see how high sustainability can go.
