This stripey feature is on the side of the fruit market in Hull. A highly innovative building that is extremely eco-friendly. The roof is basically a huge gutter to capture rain water and along one side of the roof is a vast array of solar panels and wind turbines. They make a very strange fluttering noise as you walk past.
I like the building as they have really pushed the boundaries in design and made it as "green" as possible which is a great way to test out new technology and push to see what is possible and importantly, economical when it comes to trying to build a self-sufficient building. Well done to them.
If you want to go have a look yourself then it's signposted off the main A63 that goes through Hull and isn't that far away from the main marina.
