Innovative pylons

摘要

This morning on breakfast television there was a discussion on the electricity pylons in the landscape. These iconic symbols of the power distribution system are perhaps one of the most familiar and effective structures the public see in their everyday lives. Their method of construction allows them to be transported over the countryside and erected without the need for permanent infrastructures. Was it a structural engineer who was asked to appear and discuss their merits? No, again the architects appeared talking about what is an engineering design.
