Nice News - As the saying goes, turn lemons into lemonade — or in this case,
transform industrial pylons into public art. That’s the plan underway in
Austria, where the metal towers are being reimagined as giant animal sculptures to win over residents who aren’t fans of the way the power lines look.
Called Austrian Power Giants,
these transmission towers double as art installations designed to
symbolize different states across the country. The debut prototypes
include a stork to represent the annual stork migration in Burgenland and a deer paying homage to the densely wooded foothills of Lower Austria.
“This nature-inspired design is ultimately intended to become a symbol for nature-friendly infrastructure projects,
strengthen the economic and tourism location in the regions, and
ultimately lead to increased acceptance of grid expansion projects by
the general public,” the Austrian Power Grid said in a statement.
