The Pylon Network, The Davidson Prize 2024
Chair’s Commendation Award

Collaborators: German Nieva + Elena Tamaosiunate
The Pylon Network is a new model of housing designed for off-grid, energy conscious living where pylon residents hold active agency over the construction, design and energy production of their own home.

Utilising over 90,000 pylons slowly being decommissioned or displaced from the National Grid as a framework for new homes, the proposal suggests ways in which residents may repurpose and retrofit the industrial monolithic steel frame as a comfortable off-grid living environment.
