The dense pattern of turbines allows for a greater efficiency of power production as the turbine rotation is augmented by wind vortices created by the adjacent units. The wind-ship \u201csails\u201d forward to a green horizon and a clean energy future.<\/p>\n<p>An ecological park is incorporated into the design, with a riverbank rich in biodiversity. The rough vegetation and trees provide an attractive public space, and the ecological design contributes to the spatial experience of the area as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/DrivenByTheWind3.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"Driven By The Wind\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4326\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ship uses a space frame structure, which supports 750 helical Darrieus-type vertical windmills that have their own inherent beauty. A combined staircase and ramp leads visitors to a recycled wood ship platform on the top of the space frame where they can experience unique views over the city from the 32-meter high bow of the ship. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/driven1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"driven by the wind\" width=\"500\" height=\"232\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4324\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driven by the Wind, towards a green horizon Submission to the 2014 Land Art Generator Initiative Copenhagen design competition Artist [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":74512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[74,73,69],"tags":[85],"class_list":["post-4004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2014-lagi-submissions","category-lagi-2014-design-competition","category-renewable-energy-public-art","tag-lagi-2014"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4004"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4004"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74513,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4004\/revisions\/74513"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
