Solar battery architecture

The building which works by the sun

Island of healing to be located in the Japanese southwestern edge; Miyako-Island. I regard the shoreline of this island as a site, it is the suggestion of the big scale such as engineering works.

In this island occupying the position where sightseeing business is important, tourists borrow a car and move. Because it is a solitary island, I paid my attention to conversion being easily possible in environment-energy society from oil and energy-dependent society, I suggest a technical study institution performing the study of the solar battery or an experiment of the solar car. It is solar battery panels of 2,800 square meters installed in the center of the test course, and generate electricity for this building and neighboring areas. It is a center that studying tidal power generation or wave energy, the visitor can observe the experiment scenery of the solar car.

The shock that watched Lingotto of Fiat, which Corbusier called "the scenery which was the most impressive in industry", became the origin of the idea of this plan.

In Miyako Island of the high sun, leave the position to the sun and go round the islands by the leisurely drive. Will not this be a very luxurious experience?
