Modern electricity towers designed to look like the shapes of different animals bring power and beauty to Austria.

Austrian Power Giants project combines boring high-voltage infrastructure with beautiful nature inspired design.

Traditional pylon designs have struggled to gain widespread public acceptance, prompting the creation of animal shaped pylons.

Each of Austria’s nine federal states is represented by a symbolic animal, reflecting the unique character and natural environment of the region.

The stork represents Burgenland, known for its annual stork migrations, while the deer symbolizes the forested Alpine foothills of Lower Austria.

Austrian Power Giants look like monumental steel sculptures of animals, yet they serve a fully functional purpose as high-voltage power pylons.

Each one is built from the same lattice framework used in conventional towers, but the structure is reimagined into the graceful outlines of regional wildlife.

The result is both industrial and poetic, a piece of infrastructure that feels alive in the landscape.

In Austria, even power lines have gone wild. The Austrian Power Giants turn high-voltage pylons into animal shaped sculptures.
