Wind Architectural Integration
Specialized wind turbines can be integrated into the design of new and existing structures, generating clean energy and providing an innovative artistic element to the building itself. Wind turbines are incorporated into the design of buildings based on how the building can shape, funnel and harness this abundant source of renewable energy. Wind turbines represent one of the many types of renewable energy technologies that can be integrated into the design of new buildings, as well as existing structures.

When we study the movement of air in the city, streets behave as canyons and channels for accelerating and slowing down the wind.
As we incorporate wind turbines into the building, the architectural designer becomes aware of how the building can shape, funnel and harness this huge source of renewable energy.
