The Time Is Now: Public Art of the Sustainable City Land Art Generator Initiative, UAE

Renewable energy becomes inspirational public art.

If you're passionate about sustainability and art, "The Time Is Now" offers a visual feast that reimagines how we interact with renewable energy. It's an eye-opener to innovative designs marrying function with aesthetics in public spaces, a concept that could spark your own ideas and appreciation for sustainable art in urban landscapes.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In 2010, the Land Art Generator Initiative held its first international design competition to explore the various facets of renewable energy's beauty. Artists, architects, engineers, and scientists from around the world worked together to design power plants that would function not only as infrastructure for clean energy production but also as conceptually powerful works of art for the United Arab Emirates. This book presents the best of the entries, the winners of which were chosen by an international jury. The aim is to actualise public art that fulfils its societal role while pushing the boundaries of technology progress at peace with the natural world.
