The Acoustic Wind Pavilion by Luke Jerram was designed to
make the shifting patters of the wind audible and to visually amplify the ever
changing sky. The acoustic and optical pavilion is basically a large musical
instrument. It is designed to 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 stings
register the shifting landscape of wind around the artwork. The aim is for the
public to be able to visualize this shifting wind map by interpreting the sound
around them.
