The conceptual structure combines a public exhibition space under an umbrella-shaped roof with a tall central tower supporting 16 long, weighted steel arms.

A solar cell array at the top powers 16 winches that pull the weighted arms upward, storing potential energy. When the pavilion needs electricity, or when someone wants to change its shape, the arms fall back down under gravity. Their descent drives 16 generators that feed power to the building or local grid, turning stored height into usable electricity without batteries or other complex systems getting in the way.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

on a sunny afternoon, you would see the arms at different angles around the tower, sometimes clustered vertically, sometimes fanned out like a mechanical flower. The shifting positions are not just decorative but are the visible result of energy being stored and released. You can read the building\u2019s energy state in its skyline without needing a diagram, which turns out to be a surprisingly rare thing for infrastructure to offer at any scale.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/02\/michael-jantzen-just-turned-solar-into-a-16-arm-moving-sculpture\/the-solar-and-gravity-powered-art-and-science-pavilion-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-606247\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/02\/02\/michael-jantzen-just-turned-solar-into-a-16-arm-moving-sculpture\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Michael Jantzen Just Turned Solar into a 16-Arm Moving Sculpture\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/02\/michael-jantzen-just-turned-solar-into-a-16-arm-moving-sculpture\/the-solar-and-gravity-powered-art-and-science-pavilion-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/02\/michael-jantzen-just-turned-solar-into-a-16-arm-moving-sculpture\/the-solar-and-gravity-powered-art-and-science-pavilion-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-606247\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/02\/02\/michael-jantzen-just-turned-solar-into-a-16-arm-moving-sculpture\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Michael Jantzen Just Turned Solar into a 16-Arm Moving Sculpture\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/02\/michael-jantzen-just-turned-solar-into-a-16-arm-moving-sculpture\/the-solar-and-gravity-powered-art-and-science-pavilion-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Inside, the umbrella roof shelters a large floor for exhibitions, lectures, or performances. At the center, 16 cables drop through holes in the floor, each marked with an orange spot matching the orange-tipped arms outside. Those cables connect to winches and generators below, making the mechanical core part of the exhibition rather than something hidden. Visitors can track which arms are up or down by watching cables move, turning passive observation into something closer to active participation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

People walk through exhibitions while the structure demonstrates solar capture and gravity storage without needing to explain every detail. The pavilion functions as a tourist attraction, classroom, and public art that teaches through motion instead of asking you to absorb paragraphs about conversion rates nobody remembers afterward.<\/p>\n<p>Jantzen\u2019s proposal might never be built as drawn, but treating energy flows as choreography feels worth exploring. It hints at a future where infrastructure does not just work efficiently behind walls, it performs visibly in ways that invite people to understand systems that usually stay hidden until something breaks. Making those processes watchable might matter more than squeezing out another efficiency percentage point, which is something worth considering the next time we design places meant to teach.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
