The focus is on the landscapes. The pylons designed are simple, fragile, even graceful so as not to confuse the scale of the object and that of the landscape. Here, the agricultural plain; and the pylon becomes a mast with minimal impact in the face of the constraints of agricultural exploitation by punctuating the line open over the expanse with a unitary shaft. Here, the undulating and strong topographic variations; the pylons allow the movement of the horizon to filter through the transparency of the shaft. Here, the forest crossing; and in the backlight, the parts of the mast vary according to the lights to differentiate the stem and the body, the brightness of the minimal discontinuity in the opacity of the plant universe.
