It will never fail you. In order to solve problems we must first love nature. The inspiration must come out from the natural powers itself. With windscape and sunscape all around, nature deals directly with the form, and controls it. <\/p>\n<p>The two towers play an important role in attracting people to the site with their strange look and height that can be seen from any part of the city. Each one is 140m high. With steel lines, it can inspire attendance with its visual effects at night, its movement, and the sky view. <\/p>\n<p>The form lines on site were inspired by the desert sands, the form rises out of the sand. Its shape is fluid.<\/p>\n<p>Inspiration<br \/>\nIntegrating science technologies with some new artistic shapes and forms to inspire viewers and make art from science and natural powers. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/la2.jpg\" \/\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/la3.jpg\" \/\n\nSolar Chimney\nWith two towers instead of only one, the solar chimney was designed to take full advantage of hot air and the solar radiation there, as it works on the famous three principles:  \n1-The use of the sun\u2019s radiation to heat a large body of air - the collection area is the main form that the towers comes out of it.\n2-Hot air rises through the chimney.  \n3-Movement of air as energy source to drive large turbines to generate electricity \n\nElectric Carbon Shafts \nAfter the air rises on both chimneys, wind shafts were considered inside and outside of the chimney, the inside air will move outside. The shafts which were made out of carbon, will generate electricity by piezoelectric movement. \n\nWind Turbines\nWind generators are easy integrated with the form like the other natural elements in site.  \n\nPhotovoltaic cells\nPlaced on top of the form to receive most of sun rays.\n\nWind waves\nInspired from water waves , the same techniques were used to generate power from waves, but not water waves, it\u2019s Wind, hits the elements between the two towers, which makes the inner circular cylinder spin generating electricity.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/la4.jpg\" \/\n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/layers.pdf\">low-res version PDF of submitted boards<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karim Mahmoud Elnabawy Balbaa Designed for Site #1 in Dubai, near Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
