Energy Overlays provides a glimpse into our post - carbon future where energy infrastructure is

seamlessly woven into the fabric of our cities as

works of public art. Fifty designs use a variety of renewable energy

technologies to arrive at innovative site - specific solutions. Power plants of the future will

be the perfect place to have a picnic!

On the foreshore of St Kilda with the skyline of

Melbourne as a backdrop rises a new kind of

power plant

- one that merges renewable energy

production with leisure , recreation, and

education. Energy Overlays provides a roadmap

to our sustainable future with essays about the

energy transition and beautiful renderings and

diagrams of more than fifty designs. The result is a city where the infrastructures that power our world are designed to be reflections of culture,

where public parks provide clean electricity to

the city grid, and where the art that makes our lives more vibrant and interesting is also part of

the solution to climate change.
