The Land of Giants

Designed by Choi + Shine Architects, these towers are powerful—holding up electrical lines with their strong arms, and they’re also variable—changing their gestures as the environments differ. So when the electrical lines ascend a hill, the pylon figures imitate a climbing person but stretch to gain increased height over long spans. Except for the large amounts of possible forms, the pylon-figures can also be placed in pairs, walking side by side or glancing at each other and therefore altering the overall appearance of line routes. Also due to that concept of giving the towers a new look as well as its innovative design, the pylon-figures has become winner of the 2010 Boston Society of Architects Unbuilt Architecture. So would you like to see them on the lands of your country?
