      Wind catcher at Dunstable Downs Providing ventilations at the National Trust building

        June 4, 2024

        One could easily mistake this object, which stands in the middle of the lawn and is called the "Windcatcher", for a sculpture by an artist in a modern style. However, it is not primarily an art object, but rather a functional building. The functional building is part of a ventilation system.
