This is a conceptual study for the construction of large roofs that are clad with wind turbines. The wind turbines shade the space below and at the same time as they rotate, they generate electricity to power whatever is under the roof and or anything around it. This particular roof is shown covering a large swimming pool in a desert environment. It would provide power for night lighting, pool maintenance,water pumping, etc.In general it represents another in a series of my projects over the years that have attempted to create structures which (as a result of their unique design) generate their own energy directly from the environment in which they are built.
