Hairy Wind Farm

One such sustainable design by Swedish architectural firm Belatchew Arkritekter involves transforming the Söder Torn tower in Stockholm into a gigantic wind farm. This will be achieved by covering the skyscraper in a large number of hairy-looking straws. The straws are made of a composite material that contains piezoelectric properties, which can convert motion from the wind into electric energy.

Biostagog - Platige Image 3d printed interactive sculpture

“A collaboration of artists and technicians has created one of the most amazing 3D printed sculptures ever attempted. Polish company Platige Image required a “statement” for their headquarters in Warsaw and we believe this massive sculpture delivers. They say: 

 

The installation was supposed to be an interactive, “living” element in the building, a phenomenon existing within the lobby space that would create new situations that engage people, visitors and employees alike.

It’s a wall composed of over 800 individually designed 3D printed pieces and creatively lit to develop unique optical experiences for those fortunate to stand nearby. As a static sculpture it is seamlessly beautiful, but its real magic occurs when the complex lighting is applied to the 3D surfaces.” ~ fabbaloo.com
