PYLONS OF THE FUTURE

Page 7

Dancing with Nature Natures processes of the determination of the form of leaves and plants, is not guided by a purely intellectual aesthetic. Rather, form and spatial configuration are defined by the forces of nature itself such as wind, light, temperature as well as many other parameters of the surroundings. In a similar manner then , the new pylons respond individually to their natural context and forces. The path of the cable lines varies as a function of the terrain as it curves around hills and valleys to find a path of least resistance. The pylons lean into the direction of the forces of the cables they are required to carry. Like ourselves, we lean into a strong wind to find our equilibrium. As such the pylons will respond to the terrain they cross and the forces lines that result from them. Rather than dominating the landscape like the industrial soldiers they express that the nature is the stronger force, and not the pylon.

ÂŹÂŹ Variability: The pylons correspond to the geography of the land, every pylon has its individuality.
