Our coverage on energy explores projects and stories that underline the natural source's functional and conceptual elements. In architecture, buildings integrate renewable systems such as solar panels, geothermal heating, and kinetic façades that generate power from movement or sunlight. Art uses energy-driven installations that use light, sound, and motion powered by renewable sources to visualize how power flows through space. Design shows how new materials and smart systems are applied to create objects that utilize energy, such as solar furniture or portable kinetic chargers. Technology expands these efforts with innovations in smart grids and other materials that convert environmental sources into usable power. These days, designers consider how form and function can interact with natural and digital systems to produce self-sustaining environments.
