Aeolus: Stunning musical Pavilion played by the wind

[fourteen]

[LEFT]A stunning pavilion in London called Aeolus who is ruler of the four winds in Greek mythology.it was designed by Luke Jerram who is famous by large scale public engagement artworks. Aeolus is a giant stringed musical instrument, an acoustic and optical pavilion designed to make audible the silent shifting patterns of the wind and to visually amplify the ever changing sky.It is an Aeolian harp, designed to resonate and sing with the wind without any electrical power or amplification. Vibrations in strings attached to some of the tubes are transferred through skins covering the tops of the pavilion, and projected down through the tubes towards the viewer standing beneath the arch. The aim is for the public to be able to visualize this shifting wind map by interpreting the sound around them.
