Wind Shaped Pavilion

October 28th, 2007

I’m not sure the wind shaped pavilion is the most practical design for a building, but I could stand seeing a few of them around town:

Made entirely out of lightweight fabric, each of its six main segments twist around its central support frame in response to fluctuations in the wind. This means that the shape of the pavilion continually alters.

I wonder how much noise the segments make as they turn. Enough to drown out a conversation between the occupants, or just a background hum?
