Both as an instrument of communication as well as a means of substitute for the physical model it is no coincidence that architecture and modelmaking share a rich history. Such history is so intrinsic to the design process that it is impossible to imagine fully understanding the essence of each design without the contribution of physical models. The most important models are those that lead to design conviction and it is these models that strengthen the design through their production and evaluation.
In 2010, the Land Art Generator Initiative held its first international design competition to explore the various facets of renewable energy’s beauty. Artists, architects, engineers and scientists from around the world worked together to design power plants that would function not only as infrastructure for clean energy production, but also as conceptually powerful works of art for the United Arab Emirates. This book presents the best of the entries, the winners of which were chosen by an international jury. The aim is to actualise public art that fulfills its societal role while pushing the boundaries of technology—progress at peace with the natural world.
