WWII museum adding a massive canopy - bad idea?

Who thinks this thing looks like a giant wing? I wonder if those New York architects realize we have these things called hurricanes here?

The National World War II museum will begin construction this spring on the 150-foot-tall Canopy of Peace, a signature shade structure long planned for the 6-acre Warehouse District campus. The canopy, which museum officials have said will cost upwards of $10 million to build, was made possible by a donation from Louisiana shipbuilding magnate Donald “Boysie” Bollinger in 2015.
At 448 feet long and 126 feet wide, the canopy will consist of panels made of a Teflon-coated fiberglass membrane to provide shade and act as a screen upon which programmable lighting and messages can be projected from below.
The museum has said the canopy, designed by Voorsanger Architects in New York, will provide a visually distinctive element not only for the museum but for the city’s skyline..

I wish the state would spend more on reading comprehension.

I imagine the panels fold up or retract.

If only Albert Speer were still around.
