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.

The world of the 21st century needs to have more renewables. We have seen here in Denmark that it is doable. We see it in Europe. But I think in order to scale things up, it would be so good to have some more input from artists, from creative thinking people, who know how to landscape things in a better manner. Who can show attractive visions. Who can show that to take climate change seriously it not about gloom and doom—it can be a positive vision. It can create beauty. It can create something that all of us would like to be a part of.” The Culture and Leisure Committee for the City of Copenhagen LAGI 2016 SANTA MONICA PARTNERS PUBLICATION SUPPORT Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAGI2018 MELBOURNE renewable energy can be beautiful TECHNOLOGY TYPE polycrystalline solar panels Conversion Efficiency 22% Capacity Factor 15%–20% (depending on site conditions) Images from Wikipedia Lightweight steel space frame.
