“The main concept of the Fuzzy Cloud is to generate energy and create space. Through game-like social interactions, cloud like structures emerge visually and virtually.”


In areas where energy access is rare, the use of wind power is a sustainable concept for energy generation. Traditional wind turbines harvest energy efficiently, but don’t provide access, don’t allow participation/occupation or have any spatial qualities. The idea behind Fuzzy Cloud was to design a component (Collaborative Object) that, through human interaction, generates a multi-functional adaptive structure, that on the one hand raises the awareness of sustainable energy, as well as generates a social impact on the community. Each component has a horizontal energy-generating propeller that makes it applicable independent of a specific wind direction. The small size of these components allows for fast adaptations of the shape and functionality, enabling the possibility of applying different game strategies and social interaction, creating a fuzzy formation in constant flux.
