Inhabitat: Large, utility-scale wind turbines are fantastic and
can generate a lot electricity, but they also require a lot of land and
infrastructure. What if we could harness the power of the wind closer
to home in an unobtrusive way? NL Architects
explored this idea of ‘domesticating’ wind power with Power Flowers –
tree-like structures outfitted with multiple vertical axis wind
turbines. These small, almost noiseless generators could be placed in
urban settings and serve as both distributed generation and artistic
sculptures. |
