Bystrup Selected as Winner of Pylon Design Competition

This year, you’d be hard pressed to find a more exciting, more captivating electrical pylon redesign contest than the Pylon Design Competition run by the UK’s Department of Energy & Climate Change, the National Grid, and the Royal Institute of British Architects. Granted, that’s because there weren’t any other competitions to compete with this one, but that’s neither here nor there. What’s important is that a winner has now been crowned. The Copenhagen-based Bystrup has won for its T-Pylon, which looks as it sounds, in an uppercase T shape, but is reportedly up to two-thirds the height and weight of current electrical pylons.
