Link: Solar Tree: New Street Lighting from Ross Lovegrove (TreeHugger).
"SOLAR TREE.
ROSS LOVEGROVE. LONDON
"A project stimulated by the MAK in Vienna that celebrates DESIGN, NATURE AND ART. Therefore it represents the DNA of our times and the need to converge the most advanced technologies with that of the beautification of our collective environment.
"The SOLAR TREES communicate more than light… they communicate the trust of placing beautifully made, complex natural forms outside for the benefit of all of society becoming a museum that if folded inside out, the museum as an incubator of change in society… and with this the promotion of environmental science and the joy of the new aesthetics made possible by the digital process....
(((As they once said of the Eameses, "It's like a message of hope from another planet!")))
