Architecturally and thematically designed in the shape of a drop of water, the Water Building Resort intends to become the first building ever to convert air into water with the help of solar power.
Architecturally and thematically designed in the shape of a drop of water, the Water Building Resort intends to become the first building ever to convert air into water with the help of solar power. What sounds like magic will be achieved with the following combination of nature and technology: A sunny, southerly facing facade made of photovoltaic glass will harness solar energy, allowing light to pass through. The northern facade features a latticed design for ventilation as well as unprecedented Teex Micron equipment that will convert humid air and condensation into pure drinking water.

Wuld it change the overall relative humidity of a region if enough of these were deployed? So we get lots of drinking water, but suddenly the local plant life all dies because there's not enough humidity in the air?
Also: it's a cute water droplet shape, which gives me opportunity to once again post the Longaberger Basket, now with bigger hands!
But seriously, why bother with the resort aspect? The droplet thingey looks fairly petite (compared to the boats in the foreground); what if this was a piece of friendly-looking infrastructure, dispersed fairly densely throughout a region? (Though that brings me back to my original question: is taking H2O out of the air a good idea in the big picture?)
