I knew they'd used old wind turbine blades in the construction of this new building. Until I saw the finished building close up, I didn't know how. Wind turbine blades repurposed into heat shades. There's a certain climate-crisis harmony in that.

Recycled wood, recycled aluminium sheets, recycled wind turbine blades.
Inside, they recycled and redesigned 2,000 light fittings from old Netto supermarkets. They hired and trained socially vulnerable people from the local community for the special project that did the repurposing work on the lights.
If you think I didn’t take even more photos of the finished building once I got close to it, then you have another toot coming.
A fascinating building, I think. Innovative, interesting and - the more I see it - beautiful.
I may or may not have wolf-whistled when I saw this downpipe design
