Margot Krasojević’s sculpture gallery to produce hydroelectricity

Conceived for the coast of Sochi in Russia, the conceptual project would provide power to 200 homes thanks to seawater.

Margot Krasojević’s new conceptual work is a sculpture gallery on the coast of Sochi, Russia, using hydroelectricity: the structure would work with sea and waves to produce power for 200 homes. The architect, known for her conceptual architecture and environment awareness, was inspired by the Russian constructivism movement. The Hydroelectric sculpture gallery is sloping of 45 degrees over the sea level and it would be built in steel. Thanks to seawater entering in a submerged chamber and airflow pressure increasing, five turbines would rotate to provide energy.
