Yıldızlı EVET
Love the idea of harnessing wind, and buried in the text is the notion that wind effects illumination levels (by power generation?). This idea of wind (and sun?) can have experiential effects on interior spaces (light, sound, smell(?) ) is all you need to build a great project around. This said I would suggest amplifying the wind generation aspects, first and foremost a wind farm, potentially coupled with a solar farm? . This could be done in a very mundane/rigorous way, or, in a more dynamic way. To show these effects, it may be most directly conveyed by illustrating a single, interior room with varying light/sound levels tied to wind speed, sun levels, potentially temperature, humidity. Great thematic idea, just trust it, amplify/ride it.
enjoyable and inspiring project...
