We designed intergenerational spaces for the elderly and children in the community who need companionship, using materials such as decommissioned wind turbine fan blades, hubs, and cylinders that are difficult to dispose of. The design includes a modular carbon cycle planting promotion area and resting area mainly for the elderly, and a sports power generation activity area for the youth, including pedal power generation stairs, cycling power generation, interactive power generation devices. The community will have the opportunity to be educated and practice green urban concepts.
