# Energy-Generating Kite Farms Paisajes Emergentes Turns a Playful Pastime into Eco-Electricity By Meghan Young | Published 2010-08-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paisajes-emergentes References: [paisajesemergentes](http://www.paisajesemergentes.com/) When I think of kites, I envision a playful, serene pastime; but when Colombian landscape architectural studio Paisajes Emergentes thinks of kites, they envision energy. At least, they did for the Land Art Generator Initiative, which they entered with their kite farm concept. Essentially, Paisajes Emergentes proposes an energy-generating kite farm that will be located on a beach in Abu Dhabi. By being tethered to flexible apparatus, up to 200 para-kites would be able to use a patented Windbelt generator in order to power up to 600 homes with ease. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Energy-generating Kite Farms:** Opportunity for using kites as a renewable energy source through innovative kite farm concept. - **Land Art Generator Initiative:** Emerging trend of incorporating sustainable energy generation into artistic installations and landscapes. - **Windbelt Generator:** Rising trend of using flexible apparatus and patented technology to harness wind energy efficiently. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to revolutionize wind power generation using kite farms and Windbelt technology. - **Landscape Architecture:** Opportunity for landscape architects to integrate sustainable energy generation into their designs, such as kite farms. - **Art and Installation:** Unique opportunity for artists and installations to combine artistic expression with renewable energy production through projects like the Land Art Generator Initiative. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Energy-Generating Park Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-park.md) - [Honeycomb-Shaped Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-wind-turbine-design.md) - [Portable Energy Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-generator.md) - [Colorful Aerial Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-power-campaign.md) - [Reanimated Power Plant Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manresa-island.md) - [Deconstructed Windmill Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wip-windmill-in-play.md) - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Floating Turbine Wind Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petrofac-and-seawind-ocean-technology.md) - [Solar Energy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jantzen-2.md)
