Land of the Giants in Iceland: Towers wires carrying electricity to the Giants!


 

Most of us are used to image high-tension towers that appear (with minor differences) in the same boring character wherever we went, but you really must be electricity pylons in the same way always?

Office Architects, and Shane Shui another view:


Finest architects in the Choi and Shane this great idea for HV Towers look like human figures, as if the giants are the people who hold the power cords!!

This idea has been designed for the distinctive design competition high-voltage towers in Iceland, so the purpose of this idea to make the high-voltage towers in harmony with the environment around a unique way.

Sweet idea is that these giants are changing their situation and come individually or in pairs according to the environment and the place where they are, according to the number and carry wire to board the tower, so designed Choi and Shane over the status of those towers as you see in this picture:


Can lie down on his knees or sometimes stand tall or sometimes with his hands up if the pregnancy is large or giant with another charged with wire, and in the end is just electricity pylons!!



It is worth mentioning that this design did not receive any center in the contest, but he received an appreciation award
