The Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered musical sculpture resembling a tree set in the landscape of the Pennine mountain range, in Lancashire.
Designed by architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin-Liu, the Singing Ringing Tree is a 3 metre tall construction comprising pipes of galvanised steel which harness the energy of the wind to produce a slightly discordant and penetrating choral sound covering a range of several octaves. Some of the pipes are primarily structural and aesthetic elements, while others have been cut across their width enabling the sound.
In 2007, the sculpture won (along with 13 other candidates) the National Award of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for architectural excellence.
