Aeolus, Acoustic wind pavilion in Waadhoeke, Netherlands.
The Aeolus structure contains 310 internally polished stainless steel tubes that amplify and transform wind into harmonious sounds throughout the space.
The conception of Aeolus emerged from artist Luke Jerram's research trip to Iran in 2007, where he studied the acoustics of singing desert wells.
The structure functions as an educational platform, connecting engineering principles with acoustic science through its innovative design and construction methods.
Visitors can experience the wind-created music throughout the day, with the sounds changing based on wind direction and atmospheric conditions.
Each of the pavilion's steel tubes incorporates specially designed strings that convert air movement into musical notes without requiring electrical power.
