"The 'Land of Giants' is a poem for the eyes."
Elmar Burchia, Corriere Della Sera, Aug 17, 2010
"One of the “...beautiful ideas by the world’s best creative brains".
Dezeen Book of Ideas
"Miraculous steel giants who tread on the Icelandic fjords... Would not that be something for Germany? Filigree steel giants, strutting through the Ruhr’s Emsland direction?"
Von Marlies Uken, Zeit, Germany
"The most extraordinary power poles in the world".
"One of the coolest ideas... the high-voltage monsters suddenly transformed into a major tourist attraction."
Dagsavien, Norway
"...we (the curators) were like kids on Christmas morning delicately opening out presents."
Sean Tudor, Canada Science and Technology Museum
"If power lines have to be above ground, then why not create works of art in the transfer of energy. Fantastic imagination, instead of dreading the dreaded pylons, folks will take trips to see what different works are in place."
"I’ve often pondered the ugliness of pylons. Could they ever be beautiful? Thanks to this concept the answer is yes. Not just beautiful, but poetic. Never mind practicality - imaginative concepts lead the way to the future. If extra-terrestrials ever visited us and saw this was the way we handled our power lines, they would know that we were truly civilized."
"These are SO beautiful and exactly what good design is all about - not just making something inherently ugly a bit less ugly and noticeable, but turning it right round and making it completely beautiful."
