Someone should have made a Doctor Who episode wrapped around the concept of sentient pylons. Maybe they did. I'm struck by the idea of pylons as electricity bridges, or at least the pylons that hold those bridges aloft. Also, I'm struck by how different people interpreted the same set of images.
Later we designed wifi towers to look like trees, and I'm not sure that's an improvement to design that shows the bare engineering. I wonder what the pylons would have looked like if more intentionally designed by the sorts of people who talk about intentional design. Again, that's not to say it'd be better or worse, but why we've decided to stop designing them is an interesting question.
A note that street rigging for construction sheds in NYC has been redesigned and though more expensive, is actually successfully more lovely and 'architectural', you feel like you're moving through a public space rather than a condemned alley.
