Wind Shaped Pavillion By Michael Jantzen

The Wind Shaped Pavilion is a design proposal by Michael Jantzen for a large fabric structure that can be used as a public or private pavilion. As a lightweight fabric structure, the wind slowly and randomly rotates each of the six segments around a central open support frame. This continually alters the shape of the pavilion, while at the same time generating electrical power for its nighttime illumination. Interesting idea — good luck on getting someone to build it though! :: Wind Shaped Pavillion
