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% 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 days 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.
