These monstrosities are ruining landscapes all over the globe – expensive & bad electric.” Trump Tweeted on Sept. 19, 2012 “Don’t let them build a wind turbine in your backyard (or near your house). It will destroy your property value." The Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) has brought together a network of artists, architects, scientists, landscape architects, and engineers in a first of its kind collaboration. The goal of LAGI is to accelerate the transition to post-carbon economies by providing models of renewable energy infrastructure that add value to public space, inspire, and educate—while providing equitable power to thousands of homes around the world. LAGI has held four free international design competitions in partnership with private & public entities. We now have a portfolio of over 800 submissions representing more than 60 countries. In order to get the broadest and most comprehensive set of submittals the design sites are chosen based on their international place recognition. The design brief for the LAGI design competition contains the following baseline requirements: The artwork is to capture energy from nature and cleanly convert it into electricity Consideration should be made for the safety of the viewing public and for the educational activities that may occur on site The design should be constructible (rather than theoretical) LAGI 2010 DUBAI & ABU DHABI DUBAI THE LAGOONS SITE 1 Under Construction Adjacent to Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary RAS AL KHOR ABU DHABI TO SAADIYAT ISLAND SITE 2 YAS ISLAND Between Yas and Saadiyat Islands UNDER CONSTRUCTION ABU DHABI ABU DHABI AIRPORT SITE 3 KHALIFA CITY Airport Road Near the Masdar City Site Masdar City (under construction) LAGI 2010 at the World Future Energy Summit 2011 LAGI 2012 FRESHKILLS PARK The Land Art Generator Initiative is a project of Society for Cultural Exchange, FOR MORE a U.S. based 501(c)(3) organization.

  • STORYTELLING METERS Examines Many Curious Episodes That Help Us Understand the Great Journey of Electricity
    EDP Foundation Energy Heritage Collection STORYTELLING METERS kids folio Curator: Joaquim Moreno FAMILY ACTIVITIES Average duration 60 Ages: +5 Welcome to the Central Tejo Power Station, a building that produced the electricity that served our homes and the streets of Lisbon for decades. From the moment of its production to its use in our home, electricity goes through many circuits and its transmission requires many instruments, but there is one element in particular which defines its arrival into our family life: the electricity meter. Through the lens of the electricity meters we all have at home, the exhibition STORYTELLING METERS examines many curious episodes that help us understand the great journey of electricity. Come and find out the stories of these energy-filled episodes. maat Education and Public Programmes Coordination Joana Simões Henriques | Concept Fabrícia Valente EP. 1 EDISON CHEMICAL METER, 1882 In episode 1, we find the Edison Meter, from 1882. Did you know that this invention was of great importance in enabling energy to be sold to our homes? Since it was able to measure the amount of energy we used, there could now be a seller and a buyer of electricity. Draw your domestic meter and discuss as a family the differences with this one in the exhibition. Energy Heritage Collection 3 EP. 3 ASTRONOMICAL METER Public lighting plays a very important role in the life of our cities. In episode 3 of the exhibition, we will discover the historic public streetlamps of downtown Lisbon. Apart from the streetlamp, write down 4 things in the streets of your city that need electricity.

  • Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!
    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals. In this document you can find out more about the places you cannot miss in this city – excursions, restaurants and bars, among others.

Svázán je zejména s elektrárnami, rozvodnami a trafostanicemi, které jsou předmětem tohoto výzkumu. Výroba elektrické energie v Čechách a především v Praze byla započata v prvních lokálních stejnosměrných elektrárna pod vedením Františka Křižíka. Po vzniku ústřední Holešovické elektrárny v Praze bylo třeba rozvést velké množství elektrické energie po celém městě, proto je největší rozkvět distribučních stanic v době „první republiky“. Co jsou vlastně distribuční stanice? Pod tímto termínem jsou „schovány“ objekty a budovy trafostanic, rozvoden i měníren. Obálka (tj. vlastní stavba) těchto technologií je často totožná pro všechny druhy distribučních stanic, často bývají funkci sdružené pod jednu střechu.

  • Maat - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology - Opens in Lisbon
    3 October 2016 MAAT - MUSEUM OF ART, ARCHITECTURE AND TECHNOLOGY - OPENS IN LISBON This Wednesday, 5 October 2016, the EDP Foundation will officially open MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology - on the Tagus River in Belém, Lisbon, with a 12-hour public programme featuring exhibition openings, educational events, performances and music happenings. Housed within two buildings and spanning a vast outdoor site, MAAT will explore contemporary culture through visual arts, new media, architecture, technology and science. It will comprise the elegant new kunsthalle designed by AL_A, the architecture practice headed by British architect Amanda Levete, and the recently renovated Central Tejo power station. The new museum complex is located on the EDP Foundation Campus, which is at the heart of an exciting urban revitalisation along one of Lisbon’s most historic waterfronts. Speaking about the EDP Foundation’s commission, António Mexia, CEO of EDP Group and Chairman of EDP Foundation, said: “MAAT will restore the historic connection between the city and the water. It will be a hub for attracting people who come here to enjoy art and architecture. More than that, however, it will draw people from the heart of the city to the panoramic views along the Tagus estuary, a riverfront area that has long been neglected, but thanks to MAAT, will become a vibrant new destination within Lisbon.” Pedro Gadanho, Director of MAAT, added: “With its unique industrial heritage, a growing collection of Portuguese art and an innovative exhibition programme, MAAT will be a cultural space of discovery, critical thinking and global dialogue. MAAT will not only support the work of Portuguese artists and curators, but will also offer them a platform to connect with the international art community.” The new kunsthalle AL_A’s new kunstshalle, which contains four distinct gallery spaces, captures the essence of the exceptional 38,000 m2 riverside site and its extraordinary light.

  • Displacement and Surface Pathology Monitoring of Former Tejo Power Station Building by Combining Terrestrial Laser Scanning, Micro-Geodesy, Photogrammetry and GIS
    Displacement and surface pathology monitoring of former Tejo Power Station building by combining terrestrial laser scanning, micro-geodesy, photogrammetry and GIS Adriano OLIVEIRA, João BOAVIDA, Bruno SANTOS Artescan, 3D Scanning, IPN TecBis, Edif. E Coimbra, Portugal E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The old Tejo Power Station (known as Central Tejo) is a very good example of industrial and architectural heritage from the first half of the 20th century, comprising an impressive iron structure covered in brick. Its production ended in 1972 and in 1986 it was classified as an Asset of Public Interest due to its Industrial Archeological heritage importance. More recently it was renovated and integrated on the new Campus Fundação EDP as the Electricity Museum, in Belém neighbourhood, Lisbon. In 2010, EDP foundation decided to build a modern piece of architecture, the new Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, (MAAT), just on the adjacent east side of the Electricity Museum. Heritage buildings can be severely affected by nearby construction works and in the case of the Tejo Power Station, structural monitoring is paramount. During the construction of the new MAAT Museum, the nearby Tejo Power Station’s buildings required an adequate monitoring system that could both estimate spatial displacements and map the evolution of other type of deteriorations. This paper describes a combined monitoring system for the Tejo Power Station buildings, including terrestrial laser scanning, micro-geodesy, photogrammetry and GIS technologies. This system accomplishes on the one hand for a detailed characterization of the geometric changes and on the other hand allows for the mapping of the pathology on a spatial database along specific dates, thus from an evolutive point of view.
