Eugene Tsui is an architect based in Emeryville, California. He apprenticed under 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.
He proposed a design for the hypothetical Gibraltar Bridge, which would span 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) and include a floating island equipped with wind-powered and underwater turbines, capable of powering most of Morocco and southern Spain. He also has proposed to build a 600-metre (2,000 ft)-tall observation tower in Shenzhen, China, equipped with over 92 eggbeater wind turbines capable of producing 5 megawatts of power each, and 50 panels of 1,400-square-metre (15,000 sq ft) photovoltaic solar panels, producing 11 megawatts. Another hypotetical proposal was the two-mile-high Ultima Tower, which would house one million people over 500 floors.
