WIND SHAPED PAVILLION

The Wind Shaped Pavilion is a design proposal 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.

The shape of the structure starts out as a relatively symmetrical form. Then the wind begins to alter that shape randomly, with only a slim chance of ever returning to its original symmetry.

If the structure's scale and the materials were to change, it could become an apartment complex, and or some other commercial building. In this case, the occupants could take control and rotate the segments to adjust to changing desires or needs, such as weather conditions, best views, etc.

Deixem-me esperar mais um pouco pelo resultado de um concurso e depois vão perceber porque é que eu me arrepiei quando vi estas imagens...

Não é por nada, mas este edificio adapta-se bastante bem na envolvente... até porque as brisas e ventos moldam-se e sofrem fortes influências dos edificios envolventes, topografia...

Parece-me que se esqueceram do mais importante...

Bem, no seguimento de outro post que anda por aí, digo que isto é muito free-mind...
