The Wind Shaped Pavilion is a design proposal for a large fabric structure that can be used as a public or private pavilion. As a lightweight fabric structure, the wind slowly and randomly rotates each of the six segments around a central open support frame. This continually alters the shape of the pavilion, while at the same time generating electrical power for its nighttime illumination. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/790D7F4F-E5E3-4412-A15C-B2D10714B77D" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/966F4CCD-3F93-44D8-8E68-ED9C5D405E42" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html">
The shape of the structure starts out as a relatively symmetrical form. Then the wind begins to alter that shape randomly, with only a slim chance of ever returning to its original symmetry.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/D2F662A5-9DEA-43EA-BD53-4E25EB08BD56" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/D345DBB6-3530-4D5E-B80D-D544003FD26F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html">
If the structure's scale and the materials were to change, it could become an apartment complex, and or some other commercial building. In this case, the occupants could take control and rotate the segments to adjust to changing desires or needs, such as weather conditions, best views, etc.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/068E2125-459E-4C95-A056-825223F9134F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/398B44E1-652F-4854-9BDC-A6731BF38261" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/99EA304D-90A5-486B-B3B0-E3BA7021CD7C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.walrus.com/img/400DA1A9-BB87-452B-B796-D21B637B807C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.walrus.com/~ddprod/michaeljantzen/windshape.html"><FONT size="3" face="Arial,Helvetica,Times New Roman" color="#000000">Michael Jantzen
