Pylon Design Competition


















Our timber pylon entry for the above. Conceived laterally with a strong environmental agenda; a light touch concrete free footing which has half of the ground loading of a 16 stone man, a hanging hedgerow providing protected habitat and 30 tonnes of ballast (inspired by Salisbury Cathedral spire), an engineered timber structure sourced from the UK and of course a high level wind turbine.

Thanks to Ron, Barney, Doug and Phil for their input.
