I don’t speak Dutch and assume that this is just a Photoshop mockup for a modern windmill. However, I think it would be a masterful combination of art and science were it to be built exactly as is, like a leafless tree in winter in a barren landscape.

Translation of the article:
The governmental advisor for landscaping asked designers for a new generation of windmills. 100 MW mountains, a collaboration between One Architecture, Ton Matton and NL Architects feel that 8 to 10 trubines can be mounted to 1 stand. The windmill density can increase by varying the hight upto 120 m (370 feet). Then thay can also be placed in a cite, states landscape architect Paul van Beek. That is where we need the energy the most afterall. For the first time, wind will become visible. And it looks good!

I saw a proposal that would modify traditional ‘Dutch’ style windmills 4 slatted blades etc. adapted with never materials and techniques,-making sails outta modern cloth, computer controls and such, I’d like that better and I think others would.
