I never quite understood our culture's instinctual response to cover up or mask the infrastructure that surrounds us. There's something serene about a wind farm. It's function over form, not function or form. Compare this design proposal to the phone towers that litter the landscape (pathetically) disguised to look like trees.
- mcantor 16y agoI must disagree; these designs do not appear to be pathetic disguises in the least. They are instead celebrations of the existing design, enhanced to resemble a powerful symbol in a meaningful way.
- chrisbaglieri 16y agoJust to clarify, I thought the manner in which phone towers were masked as trees was pathetic (or at least in the manner in which it was implemented), not the pylons proposal. I thought the design team hit a home run on the later. I have yet to see any phone tower made to look like a tree inspiring.
