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 the structure a greater sense of harmony, balance and solidity.
It was not a purely decorative choice, but the result of a profound understanding of form, human perception, and the relationship between aesthetics and engineering.
The Design Principle Behind ENESSERE Micro Wind
ENESSERE micro wind is founded on a similar belief: when a form is designed correctly, beauty is not an addition, but the outcome of intelligent design.
The tower supporting ENESSERE micro wind turbines widens at its base to a diameter of 40 cm and gradually tapers towards the top, reaching 22 cm. It is also formed through a multi-faceted rolling process: a design choice that evokes the verticality and rhythm of classical architectural columns, reinterpreting them through contemporary materials and technologies.
Form, Stability and Visual Perception
These solutions do not respond solely to an aesthetic requirement.
A wider base contributes to the structure’s stability and conveys a sense of balance. The gradual taper makes the tower appear lighter, while its faceted surfaces enhance the way it interacts with light and contribute to its structural stiffness.
The result is a tower that does more than simply support the turbine: it becomes an architectural element in its own right.
An Infrastructure That Engages With the Landscape
ENESSERE micro wind turbines do not seek to hide; they engage in dialogue with the landscape.
They do not imitate the columns of antiquity, but draw on their essential design principles—proportion, verticality, balance, and a relationship with space—to transform energy infrastructure into an architectural object.
At a time when many technologies are designed solely to perform a function, ENESSERE micro wind follows a different path.
Form as Part of Function
We believe that an object designed to remain in public spaces for decades should also be able to enhance the place that hosts it.
Perhaps this is the most relevant lesson from classical architecture: form is never a detail. It is part of function.
It is from this very principle that our approach to designing micro wind systems originates.
