The “Land of Giants” is a 2010 award-winning proposal by Choi+Shine Architects for Iceland, featuring 150-foot tall, human-shaped steel pylons. These artistic structures are designed to appear as if they are walking, crouching, or bowing across the landscape, turning utility infrastructure into interactive art, though they remain, for now, a proposed concept rather than a fully constructed project.

Old concept – not surprised it didn’t make it in to real life.

Cool idea, but manufacturing the custom ones probably ain’t cheap, especially if you want such variety in shapes

Looks more like rumbling rather than towers.

Is it just me or does the second picture one in the foreground look like it’s desperate for a wee? 😅
It’d be terrifying the maintenance needed to take the sticky white substances at their feet…

If that happened in Australia there would absolute outrage at the cost of them! Forget the cost of electricity from one oft he richest mining countries ever. It’s the cost of electrical poles

More expensive because the current shape is already optimised in terms of cost, weight, and support. Any deviation is therefore less effective.

Imagine if they did this nd in like 100 years the world is gone nd ppl think that these are the corpses of the giants of old. Knowing humans we would make a religion out of this.
