Sep 15, 2017 - Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA) just broke ground on a new energy storage tower for Stadtwerke Heidelberg (SWH).
At night, the tower''s inner envelope is illuminated by LEDs that glow blue, green, and white that signify the filling up or emptying of the water storage tank.
The 56-meter-tall energy storage center with 19,500-cubic-meter capacity will be accompanied with a 10,000-square-meter park, both of which are slated for completion in mid
