Sustainability sometimes compels us to compromise with aesthetics of the structure. Along with green practices, designers need to focus on beauty of structure. Urban Tiles is something thought wonderfully to maintain both, sustainability and beauty.
The concept is simple; give back to city what you have gained in the day. Whole day these tiles absorb the sunlight and generate energy through photovoltaic panels attached on one side and the energy illuminate the other sides of the tiles containing OLED. The tiles can rotate and faces the city at night illuminating the whole structure. However, in the evening these tiles enlighten the indoors eliminating need for grid power. Of, course, the idea sounds adorable and creative.
