      In Norway a big debate around some power pylons is raging. Many are opposed them as they are found obtrusive to their environment - and the pylons would prevent the area from becoming part of the World Heritage.

      Incidentally - this came into light from Iceland:

      An very interesting approach to pylons.

          No change of burying them?

          Why are they neccesary? what is there at moment? what does being part of World heritage mean in the scope of things?

          Is this an area of tourism?

              This beat me for a competition, the BSA Unbuilt, that I won in 2009 to somewhat less publicity. You can see my unsuccessful 2010 entry here:

              http://lewiswadsworth.net/lw4/2010/06/19/design/wol/

              (It's not modeled in SketchUp.)

              Thomas Shine overlapped me a year at YSOA. He is possibly one of the few architecture students from the school that who had a worse time there, I suspect, than I did. His final studio project's design (so the story goes) was stolen by a principal of a certain very powerful architecture firm, and used as the basis for the new World Trade Center tower. Shine was courageous enough to sue for copyright violation, despite (this is my memory of student gossip, I want to clarify) the risk that he would find himself blackballed in the profession.

              The case makes for interesting reading.

              (www.nytimes.com)

              The certain-very-powerful firm settled.

              Although I would have preferred to win the BSA Unbuilt again, I am happy to see that Thomas Shine and his firm are prospering after all that.
