    Windmill Structural Design: The architecture here is industrial yet aesthetic, featuring rows of tall wind turbines. Each turbine stands approximately 30 meters to 50 meters high, with rotor blades spanning over 15 meters. The towers are made of high-grade tubular steel to withstand coastal corrosion and high wind speeds. The layout is planned in a linear fashion along the coastline to maximize wind capture. This functional design creates a rhythmic visual pattern along the sandy shore.
