Payback Estimate Not enough information available at this time. Since the production is of biofuel and phosphorus rather than electricity, it does not make a good direct comparison. Other benefits such as water purification and carbon capture are difficult to quantify. Zoom Arkitekter’s team can put together an estimate based on existing prototypes.

land art generator initiative RENEWABLE ENERGY CAN BE BEAUTIFUL

To cope with global environmental problems caused by human consumption, there is a need to view industrail and commercial waste as resources. ZOOMs proposal is based on the idea of producing energy by reusing nutrients and CO2. The vision is to construct a power plant that uses waste products from sewage and CO2 from the air to produce biomass. Through gasification processes, the microalgal biomass is converted to energy-rich gas and valuable fertilizer in the form of ash. In the process, the microalgal biomass production purifies polluted waste water The project is based on the newest technologies in the field of microalgae and renewable energy. The proposed project has been made in collaboration with technical researchers from Roskilde University and Chemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, as well as the project manager from Kalundborg Municipality Supply. In Karlundborg, a microalgae test plant has already been constructed and runs as a part the water treatment program. We see a great potential in using our ideas in the projects introduced by Green Cities Site. We especially want to address the site of Herning and Kolding. Kolding: Our vision of the site of Kolding is to create a recreational water area. An open air bath that improves the quality of the water of Kolding Å and the Fjord and reduces the CO2 emmision. When the microalgae grow and produce biomass, they remove phosphorous and other nutrients from Kolding Å. This converts wasteproducts to biomass that can be used as a valuable ressource. The proposed project is an artwork, a remarkable recreational spot for the city, and a microalgae cleaning plant The clean water will be used in the recreational water area, before it is returned into Kolding. The project will bring the city and the citizens of Kolding a new waterfront, a place to stay and enjoy the transition between town and landscape. The biomass can be resold/reused as fertilizers in agriculture, animal feed, omega 3 supplements, the pharmaceutical industry and cosmetics. The biomass can also be transformed into biogas for energy production. Herning: Herning has chosen a perfect area for making a landmark that is both a work of art, a learning center and at the same time improves the environment. Our vision is to create a structure, that produce biomass using microalgae and wastewater The waste water will come directly from the industry, and like the case of Kolding reduces CO2 and produces biomass for CO2 neutral energy production or valuable biproducts. Micoralgae production has a great visual potential. It is possible to watch dirty wastewater entering the system, and to drink the clean water flowing out. It is a remarkable way to create a learningcenter, that can tell the story about the reuse/upcycling of waste products. It will create identity for Herning, and with its vibrant colours and light also have great potential for arrangements during night-time.

LAGI Green Cities Partner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bjerget, Allerod.

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing to you to express interest in your site for a renewable energy generating sculpture as part of the LAGI - Green Cities Partners. Our submission addresses Climate and Natural Environment.

Our entry to the LAGI main competition is Energy Duck.

For the Bjerget site we would like to propose a variant type of Energy Duck. The essential parts for the narrative are very similar to the Copenhagen Energy Duck. 1. The common eider is a local bird whose habitat is under threat from climate change. 2. For a renewable energy future both energy generation and energy storage are critical. 3. Energy Duck is an entertaining iconic sculpture. It is a giant duck made from solar (PV) panels. It is a celebration of local wildlife; a renewable energy generator, store and exporter; a habitable destination and a large scale educational information beacon. 4. Solar radiation is converted to electricity using low cost, off the shelf PV panels. Some of the solar electricity is stored in the form of gravitational potential energy via water pressure. At night, when there is no solar radiation the water pressure can be released through hydro turbines situated next to the lake providing renewable electricity at all times. 5. Energy Duck frames the issue of climate change; local, national and international ecology; and the importance of renewable energy in a local context.

There are 2 aspects of the Bjerget site which are of particular use. 1. There is no shading by adjacent buildings so that solar collection is unimpeded. 2. There is a hill with a lake. This is incredibly valuable as it allow one to use pumped water as an energy store. Water can be pumped from the lake (using solar power) to a store at the top of the hill. When energy is needed at night, the water can flow downhill, back into the lake through a hydro turbine generating renewable electricity.

The characteristics of the Allerod Duck are : Allerod duck is about 20m high and 30m long. (Smaller than the Copenhagen Duck) Allerod duck sits on the ground, not floating in water. Allerod duck stores water inside its belly. When night time electricity is needed this is released through a pipeline and hydro turbine back into the lake.

The Allerod Energy duck will be an effective renewable energy generator; an iconic statement, visible from afar; and a fantastic place to visit. Visitors will be able to get up close to the duck, At low level it is just a water tank. Inherently safe visitors will be able to touch it. There will be portholes in the sides of the water tanks so that visitors can see the water level changing. Furthermore, the hydro turbine outflow can be designed as a small jet, spurting water into the lake in a foamy celebration. The flow of water provides a kinetic element and an educational demonstration of renewable energy systems. There is an option to make the interior of the duck accessible. For this site we propose a simple viewing platform where visitors can look out of the duckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye over the lake. Inside the duck is a wonderful mesh like world formed out of a highly efficient steel space frame. At night the duck will gently glow using low power coloured LED lamps. The pattern of the glow will undulate in a rhythm proportional to the hydro power being generated. This aspect will be coordinated with any requirements to limit light pollution.

An important aspect for you to consider is that these proposals are in no way fixed. We would very much like to be able to take this project forward and develop the in conjunction with the municipality and relevant stakeholders. Aspects we would take into account in the design development include, the budget; operation and maintenance; using local skills and materials; and a holistic environmental impact assessment.

In fact even the duck form could change to something else. A beaver perhaps. And the solar power could change to wind power. The central principle is to take a local ecological form, one that could be affected by adverse climate change. Celebrates this from and use it as the basis for the sculpture. The sculpture incorporates a renewable energy generator at near ideal efficiency. That is,the sculptural form compliments how the generator works and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compromise its efficiency. For example, another idea is to take the cellular structure of a local deciduous tree and use this as a support and a wind catcher for a series of wind turbines. Our team comprises of artists, architects and engineers from several different companies. We have worked together on several projects in the past ranging in value from a few thousand euros to 10s of millions of euros. Our team members have been designed and delivered projects in public art, architecture, engineering and landscape. We have a wealth of creative ideas, complementary technical expertise and the practical knowledge to deliver on time and on budget.

Payback Estimate More information would need to be gathered in order to formulate an estimate of cost per installed Wp of the installation and what amount of energy production is possible with the technology.

Refkløver

Albertslund

Allerød

Herning

Kolding

To enhance connectivity across the Roskildevej road, clusters of the Refkløver triangular structures can be ‘planted’ on the roadsides. These linkages will tie the city together by spanning across the road, creating cohesion and an aesthetically improved panorama. Piezoelectric wires span across the surface of the triangular structures; these wires will transform their own movement, caused by wind currents and the wind generated by constantly moving trafƂc, into electrical energy. The movement caused by car trafƂc will offset damages climatic damages created by commuters, by providing clean and renewable energy to the city of Albertslund.

The design for Refkløver includes meandering and interconnected pathways, a derivation of the Norse labyrinth that can be translated onto the site in Allerød. The tunneling wind generated from the proximate natural features will hence beneƂt the movement of piezoelectric wires, which in turn will generate electric energy. A system of active walkways draw further from the Danish appreciation for public spaces, developing the area into a hot spot for recreational activity in the municipality. The design emerges as a participatory event as well, as further energy will be produced by foot trafƂc via the use of kinetic ƃooring tiles.

The old road of approximately one and a half kilometers will be bordered by the clusters of triangular structures running through the Knudsmosen (the Canute’s bog) and will be a unique setting for movement, art, and nature. The vertical sculptural elements will become a subtle silhouette on the closed Vejlevej road drawing intrigue and curiosity to the developing area without being an overly blatant symbol of Danish culture. The semi-transparent nature of the sculptures ensures that there is no fragmentation of the panoramic view, while also offering a diversity of experiences to a large number of users. This will consequently increase footfall on the site, generating interest in the space of the site and renewable energy through the use of kinetic ƃooring tiles.

A system of active walkways highlighted by the clusters of triangular structures will connect more passive nodes, which are guarded by the sculpture forms, making visitors feel like a very small organism within the epicenter of the red clover. Geometric forms subtly merge with the organic; visitors will hear the sound of the wind in the grass, sensing the energy created by the elements affecting the site, which will become a meeting point between the town of Kolding, the landscape, and the fjord connecting the built and the unbuilt. To increase plant biodiversity on site, a botanical theme was chosen and implemented via the form of the sculpture, as well as a detailed planting palette with plants signiƂcant to Danish ecology and culture. The semi-transparency of the sculpture pieces allows sunlight to reach the planting areas surrounding which absorb CO2, further enhancing Kolding’s efforts to achieve carbon neutral status.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION From http://www.ewi.tudelft.nl/en/current/ewicon-wind-energy-converter-unveiled-wind-mill-without-moving-parts/ A wind- ’mill’ with no moving parts? Since Wednesday, 27 March 2013, a model has been on display outside the building of the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). The modelEWICON (Electrostatic WInd Energy CONvertor) was designed by Mecanoo architects. The technology was developed by TU Delft in a consortium with Wageningen UR and commercial businesses*) as part of the Dutch government’s economy/ ecology/technology programme. This pioneering wind energy converter can convert wind energy into electricity without the use of moving parts. This means there is far less wear and tear, maintenance costs are lower and there is no nuisance due to noise or shadows. This means that the turbine is ideally suited for installation offshore or in urban areas, for example on the roof of a high-rise building.

Refkløver could collaborate with Delft University on a new design with an updated version of the same technology.

Note: The installation provides the utility of sound barrier protection, which increases the quiet enjoyment of the residential neighborhoods. It is difﬁcult to weigh this beneﬁt in terms of payback period. The effect of economic stimulus is estimated to be far less as the installation would have less of the “iconic” impact that brings tourists to visit.

What is LAGI? BeneďŹ ts to Cities

The main goal of the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) is to design and construct public art installations that have the added beneďŹ t of utility-scale clean energy generation. Each sculpture will continuously distribute clean energy into the electrical grid, with each having the potential to provide power to thousands of homes.

The Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) has brought together a network of artists, architects, scientists, landscape architects, and engineers in a ﬁrst of its kind collaboration. The goal of the Land Art Generator Initiative is to design and construct public art installations that uniquely combine aesthetics with utility scale clean energy generation. The works will serve to inspire and educate while they provide renewable power to thousands of homes around the world.

Presenting the power plant as public artwork—simultaneously enhancing the environment, increasing livability, providing a venue for learning, and stimulating local economic development—is a way to address a variety of issues. By nature of its functional utility, the work also sets itself into many other overlapping disciplines from architecture and urban design to mechanical engineering and environmental science. This interdisciplinary result has the effect of both enhancing the level of innovation and broadening the audience for the work. www.landartgenerator.org

land art generator initiative RENEWABLE ENERGY CAN BE BEAUTIFUL

LEVERAGING THE POWER OF PUBLIC ART The incorporation of renewable energy systems into the public art component of any project brings a dual beneďŹ t that is greater than the sum of its parts. 1% for the arts works hand-in-hand with on-site renewable energy generation credits for LEED and other green building standards. The art budget supports the on-site renewable budget, and conversely the onsite power generation budget supports the art budget, allowing both to extend further than either could do on its own. The project can afford more art and more energy generation without changing the bottom line capital expense.

LAGI has held three international design competitions in partnership with private & public entities. In January of 2010 LAGI put out our ﬁrst international call to artists, architects, scientists, landscape architects, and engineers to come up with both aesthetic and pragmatic solutions for 21st century energy challenges.

2010 — DUBAI & ABU DHABI The design brief for the LAGI design competition contains the following baseline requirements—the artwork is to capture energy from nature, cleanly convert it into electricity, and transform and transmit the electrical power to a grid connection point to be supplied by the city. Consideration should be made for the safety of the viewing public and for the educational activities that may occur on site. The design should be constructible (rather than theoretical), and it must respect the natural ecosystem of the design sites.

2012 — NEW YORK CITY, FRESHKILLS PARK The 2010 LAGI design competition was held for three sites in the UAE and we received hundreds of submissions from over 40 countries. In partnership with New York City’s Department of Parks & Recreation we held the 2012 LAGI design competition for a site within Freshkills Park (the former Fresh Kills Landﬁll). We received 250 submissions from around the world.

2014 — COPENHAGEN LAGI 2014 came to Copenhagen at an opportune moment. As the city (the European Green Capital of 2014) moves towards carbon neutral status by 2025 the debate over the aesthetic manifestation and human interaction component of our new energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly important to the planning strategies required to attain zero-carbon sustainability goals. LAGI has been delighted to be an event partner of Sharing Copenhagen, the ofﬁcial celebration of Copenhagen’s status of 2014 European Green Capital. www.landartgenerator.org

WHAT ISSUES DOES LAGI ADDRESS? Community Reluctance to Renewable Energy Infrastructure Every day it seems there is a new story about people disapproving of solar or wind installations in their communities. To some people, the addition of turbines to the skyline that they can see from their porch or long stretches of dark blue panels in a ďŹ eld where there used to be grass are forms of visual pollution. Innovation LAGI installations will have value beyond the energy that it produces and will have the potential to both establish new revenue streams from site activities or payback the city in economic stimulus from increased tourism to the site. Sustainable City Planning LAGI installations provide energy to the grid can give urban planners a new and versatile tool for bringing renewable energy generation into cities both small and large.

The capacity of public artwork (especially large-scale and high proﬁle works) to increase economic activity is well documented.

According to the NYC Economic Development Corporation, NYC Waterfalls by Olafur Eliasson, cost $15.5 million to install (privately funded) and brought an estimated $53 million in incremental spending from visitors who came to see the installation over the nearly four months that it was in operation. That’s an extra $483,000 per day to Manhattan businesses as a direct result of a public art installation. Imagine a permanent work of art, of a similar scale, and with similar economic stimulus beneﬁt. And now imagine that this work of art educates hundreds of visitors every day about the technology that it employs, while contributing clean energy to the electrical grid equivalent to the energy consumed by hundreds or even thousands of homes. It may be that sustainable cities of the future will seize on the opportunity and efﬁciency that may come from the fusion of renewable energy infrastructure and public art amenity. www.landartgenerator.org
