It was designed specially keeping in mind the Dubai architecture firm Studied Impact sponsored 2010 Land Art Generator Initiative competition.
The competition demanded designers to come up some sort of land artthat can also produce copious amounts of clean energy. This proposal isartful representation of a mirage that generates clean energy.
