Land Art Generator Initiative
Karim Mahmoud Elnabawy Balbaa Designed for Site #1 in Dubai, near Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
Design Submission for the 2010 Land Art Generator Initiative Design Competition
Artist’s descriptive text: Feel nature, love nature. 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.
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.
The form lines on site were inspired by the desert sands, the form rises out of the sand. Its shape is fluid.
Inspiration Integrating science technologies with some new artistic shapes and forms to inspire viewers and make art from science and natural powers.
Solar Chimney With 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: 1-The use of the sun’s radiation to heat a large body of air – the collection area is the main form that the towers comes out of it. 2-Hot air rises through the chimney. 3-Movement of air as energy source to drive large turbines to generate electricity
Electric Carbon Shafts After 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.
Wind Turbines Wind generators are easy integrated with the form like the other natural elements in site.
Photovoltaic cells Placed on top of the form to receive most of sun rays.
Wind waves Inspired from water waves , the same techniques were used to generate power from waves, but not water waves, it’s Wind, hits the elements between the two towers, which makes the inner circular cylinder spin generating electricity.
