Turnstile Turbines - Iberdrola - McCann Paris x Weber
 

A key player in renewable energies, our client Iberdrola wanted to raise public awareness around the challenges of energy transition.

The Paris Metro carries an average of 4 million passengers every day and almost 1.5 billion per year.

Our idea was to install human-sized turnstiles in the Miromesnil tube station, transforming it into a useful and beneficial display that generates green energy every time a passenger goes through. The energy generated by passengers powered two screens surrounding the turnstiles, which displayed awareness messages.

​

We did this in partnership with JUNIA, an engineering school that specializes in transitions. JUNIA students had to transform the turnstiles into a source of green energy and recreate the exact shape of the blades into a wind turbine using 3D printing to replace Iberdrola's turnstiles blades.

This campaign was awarded :
1 One Show Gold Pencil / Best of discipline / Grand Prix - (Ip & Design) - and four Merit awards 
1 Silver Cannes Lions - (Tangible & Spatial Technology)
2 Bronze Cannes Lions - (Special Build and Affordable and Clean Energy)
 - and four shortlists.
