Ho appena scoperto (con un ritardo di quasi 10 anni) che in architettura, i Wind Collectors ("collettori eolici"), sono strutture innalzate sulla sommità degli edifici, con aperture rivolte in direzione del vento. Quando il vento passa attraverso le aperture, viene incanalato all'interno dell'edificio tramite condotti; questo flusso d'aria fresca serve a ventilare e rinnovare l'aria negli spazi interni... esattamente quello che succede in musica grazie alle vibrazioni provenienti dagli speakers che rinnovano sempre l'atmosfera e l'ambiente... strano ma vero.
