I love the warping of the masses- I would love to start to see diagrams of the movement of the wind - through the site. How is the scale of these studies with relationship of the site? The bulging seems quite dramatic. Do you think the wind could take this mass and form it so much? Would the front edges really be so rigid?
Jill made an interesting comment regarding your concept, in that we do not see wind, only it's result. My thoughts here: Regarding the objects form as shown, is it derived(at least in theory)as the long-term result of actual meteorological and climatic data for the site (much like the images from the American Desert), or simply an artistic interpretation thereof. As a sculptural building, the models make me think of a cloud being blown away, revealing the previously hidden (very rigid) building inside. While the overall form may (or may not)reflect actual long range effects of wind, have you considered giving the building (aside from wind-power considerations which are a given)some kind of 'real-time', interactive relationship to the immediate, constantly changing, wind conditions in this area. We see not only the long-term, but also the immediate. The structure is constantly being reshaped. More to come.
