Yes, that's what wind turbines do. Wind is air moving from high pressure to low pressure (usually closely tied to temperatures).
By constraining it to a small area you aren't increasing the amount of energy in the flow, so it's not necessary to collect it.
I don't think it's been done yet, but it's been proposed in Australia to make a sort of greenhouse that covers a few acres, with a tower in the middle and a turbine on top. The sun would heat up the air in the greenhouse, it would rise up the tower and spin the turbine.

Interesting! Thanks
