Weather Vanes
By Chris Hardwicke // 7 Comments
Here is some functional street furniture from the UK. McChesney Architects designed a series of innovative swivelling wind shelters on Blackpool's South shore promenade. The flowing form of each 8m high shelter was created as a weather vane that swivels with the wind to shelter its inhabitants. Let's hope Toronto gets a street furniture solution as creative as this.

awesome and beautiful! i love it!
This is wonderful.
That is far too cool to ever make it through the boring design-by-commitee bullshit that passes for decision making in this city.
Am I the only one that read this and thought of the queasiness that must accompany a constantly swivelling wind shelter?
When is it bad weather why do people get insane???
I have noticed , that anytime it rains, or there is a freeze, the public panics, rushes out to the stores and buy up all the
bottled water, batteries, flash lights, firelogs, and canned food. Why is this. You would think people that have been through
this kinda weather before would understand that it will not last more than a day or two at the most.
Another thing I have noticed is when it rains that all the dumb people again get on the roads and cause wrecks and everything
else.
What is wrong with the people? I would really like to know.
its alryt.
And as beautiful.
