Thought this place was amazing, it's like a piece of Glacier has floated down the river and got wedged here.
Generates enough power for 3000 homes apparently...

Reminded me of Zaha Hadid's Sand Dune inspired furniture which are interesting but I think these amorphous work better on a larger scale.
