Brookline, MA-based Jin Choi & Thomas Shine of Choi+Shine recently received the 2010 Boston Society of Architects Unbuilt Architecture Award for their “Land of Giants” project. The project was originally submitted for an Icelandic pylon competition, where it received an honorable mention. The competition was to find a new typology for Iceland’s high voltage power lines and pylons.
This design transforms mundane electrical pylons into statues on the Icelandic landscape by making only small alterations to existing pylon design.
I think this is incredibly creative and practical design, which brings so much life to a grey Icelandic landscape. Be inspired.
