These were never made, and are not being made. It was a proposition made in 2008, and they earned a design award in 2010, but will sadly not be reality.

THEY ARE FANTASTIC!! (I'm no Architect) Why can't they be built?

so sad this has not been realised!

veery neat

the most magical image is the winter frosted trees with the pylons in the back ground. beautiful art. thank you for sharing this.

nice

It is a great idea. This may seem pedantic, but I only say it to improve the prospects of the project ever being realised. I do not mean to downplay the genius of the original project idea, merely to strengthen it. The anthropomorphic figures are nice, but artists could make them even more compelling by improving upon the aesthetic of the sculptural form. In particular the hips and legs could be more expressive and less utilitarian. Don't just improve on the traditional electricity pylon by making it a little sculpture-like - make sculptures. Make art. The functionality will be the same, and the cost need not be excessively more because the techniques exist to manufacture art in the same way that the less utilitarian versions would be manufactured. The more artistic designs would improve the value proposition of the project dramatically using the same logic that lies behind the genesis of the project. http://bit.ly/1Ovgn2N

Would be nice!
