Aeolus - acoustic wind pavilion



Charlotte found this design for a wind pavilion by Luke Jerram:
"The use of Aeolian wind harps has been selected as a suitable technology. Long tensioned strings will resonate with the wind and will be heard by visitors inside the space (see the films below). The ambition is to sonify the three dimensional landscape of wind, using a web of Aeolian harps, almost like cats' whiskers picking up the shifting landscape around the building. The public will be able to visualise this shifting wind map from within the space by interpreting the sound around them."
