The Turbine City concept from the architectural firm not only harnesses all that valuable wind, it also shows a smart tourism scheme housing a hotel, spa and museum. The offshore wind turbines would be connected together like an archipelago of islands, and would provide a base for passing sailors and holidaymakers. If this is the future, I've got to find myself a cryogenic freezer.

Its going to be a it trippy if your sitting in the hotel bar, with not only you moving up and down on the waves, but with everything swirling around you. Still pretty cool

amazing concept! I just hope there is routine maintainence of the blades, you don't want a UFO coming down and blowing it up.
Wouldn't want that with our morning coffee, now would we?
I just wish we had more competition here in the States for wind energy as well. The Solar Decathlon isn't enough for me... Silly Department of Energy.... when will they learn...

How are they anchored to the sea floor?
Bet it's noisy in the hotel.
But I want a wind turbine on my roof attached to a solar panel! - 2 years ago

Since they are floating on water, could they not also harness the energy in the water currents?
