Eugene Tsui

Eugene Tsui

Eugene Tsui is an architect based in Emeryville, California. He apprenticed under maverick architect Bruce Goff and received a bachelor of architecture from the University of Oregon, along with graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley where he earned two masters and a doctorate. [ [http://www.themonthly.com/feature07-05.html "The Monthly" feature article] ] He is known for his highly unconventional style of nature-influenced architecture. His currently built designs include the Watsu School at Harbin Hot Springs, several residential homes in the United States, and his firm's company headquarters in Emeryville.

He proposed a design for the Gibraltar Bridge, which would span 13 km and include a floating island equipped with windmills and underwater turbines, powering most of Morocco and Southern Spain. He also has proposed to build a 600 meter tall observation tower in Shenzen, equipped with over 92 eggbeater windmills capable of producing 5 megawatts of power each, and 50 panels of 1400 square meter photovoltaic solar panels, producing 11 megawatts.
