Electricity pylons probably are one of the most boring utility structures you might see. And since they are utility structures, not many pay attention to change them and make them less boring. However, Choi and Shine want to do something different and in their “Land of Giantsâ„¢” design, proposed in 2008, they want to transform electrical pylons as human-shaped statues to decorate the Icelandic countryside.
“Making only minor alterations to well established steel-framed tower design, we have created a series of towers that are powerful, solemn and variable,” the architects write on their website. “Seeing the pylon-figures will become an unforgettable experience, elevating the towers to something more than merely a functional design of necessity.” It is a quite cool project and you can find more information on its official site.
