The Power Behind Modern Architecture

Your house is a giant machine, and how it gets its power is wild. Electricity travels

from a plant, through substations, right to your plug. But big buildings are next level.

They have massive emergency generators for blackouts, often stored with dangerous goods

like fuel. Some futuristic skyscrapers even have wind turbines built right into

their structure to create their own energy. And lighting isn't just a bulb.

Architects design buildings to capture natural light perfectly, or use complex DMX systems—the same

tech in concerts—to make entire facades dance with color. It's a symphony of power and design

just to flip a switch.
