New Architects Of Spin

By Piers Fawkes on July 18, 2005

In the UK, there is much debate over the pros and cons of wind turbines. The Guardian suggests that it is clearly as
much about the aesthetics of wind power as the politics and
practicalities but wind turbines barely rank above
electricity pylons in terms of aesthetic consideration.

Now, members of the
design community are beginning to rise to the challenge either by finding better places to put wind turbines or by making them
better looking. One of the most striking
new projects rethinks the idea of the turbine entirely. It is called an
Aerogenerator and it looks nothing like a propeller on a stick; more
like a cross between a glider and a giant harp.
