aerovironment is an engineering company, which has developed ‘architectural wind’ a small modular wind turbine system. the unique system makes wind power a viable option for urban centres, because it doesn’t require a massive tower. the wind turbines are sleek and low profile so they can be perfectly integrated into new or existing buildings. the design is meant to be shown off, rather than hidden away on the roof. as much as functionality is important for the wind turbines, aesthetics is an important feature in today’s ‘green craze’ era.
