An Ancient Principle, Still Relevant Today Many of the innovations we now consider modern are rooted in design principles that date back thousands of years. In Greek architecture, one such principle is entasis: the very slight swelling of a column shaft which, together with its natural taper towards the top, corrects optical illusions and gives … Read more

What makes a piece of architecture truly successful? More than two thousand years ago, the Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio answered this question with three principles that became the foundation of architecture: Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas. Even today, these principles remain surprisingly relevant—and they also provide a meaningful way to understand ENESSERE’s approach to micro wind technology. Firmitas: … Read more

Rethinking the City: From Concrete to Nature The Depaving Phenomenon In recent years, many European cities have started to rethink their approach to urban regeneration. It is no longer only about constructing new buildings or infrastructures, but about redefining the relationship between urban space, nature, and energy. One of the most interesting emerging trends is … Read more

Enessere, a design micro wind turbine for modern architecture  The integration of micro wind turbines into contemporary architecture has always been an aesthetic and design problem for designers and architects.
