How To Redesign An Everyday Object

Electricity pylons in the UK are generally made to a design that dates from the 1920s. So National Grid, who are responsible decided to have a design competition in partnership with RIBA.

According to this story on the BBC, National Grid are putting up a test line of the winner to teach engineers how to put them up.

They certainly look to be an improvement, but after nearly a hundred years, you’d expect that!

National Grid has also put up a blog.

I like the new pylons and hope to photograph them soon!

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
