Windshelters McChesney Architects
These shelters are designed to rotate according to the prevailing wind direction to shield the occupants from the elements. Their shape was born out of a distillation of the key requirements: a vane to turn the structure, and a baffle that will shelter the inhabitant from the wind.

Locals, naturally, were pissed — so they began taping real forks to a nearby sign in protest.
Haha awesome. Here is an article about another giant California guerilla-art fork that ended up becoming a permanent public art piece.
