Yeah, right !!! The electromagnetic field of the Earth is stronger than any generated by power lines... No (serious) studies have been able to prove without a doubt the relation between cancer and power lines. Anyway, this kind of structure is not useful in any way. It is just a futile effort, and it doesn't solve anything. To Parametricist:

Current structures are designed for max structural integrity with a minimal use of material, easy and standardized component replacement, and lowest cost to the current system. It is Perdy ... but everyting else about it is non-sense. If money should be invested into the grid, it should be done so with wind-mills and solar-plants ... not alienized poles.

Though it may be 'super elegant' to some, this design clearly creates more of a problem than it solves.

Architects should have some self control and stop their ego masturbation and do something CONSTRUCTIVE. Pun intended. What question was actually answered with this solution ? Nothing. Thats why it didn't win. Architects should not stop being creative. Architects should have some self control and stop their ego masturbation and do something CONSTRUCTIVE.

Stupid replies like 'it is expensive' or 'do we need this sort of design in the current financial climate are rediculous. Should architects stop being creative because there is less money available to be spent at the moment???? no! It is super elegant! keep doing what you are doing! I think it is beautiful.

However, it seems like one more masturbation with the voronoi application...can we please stop using this and actually get back to some architecture! Voronoi should simply be banned by archiects! But good attempt...great visuals! Great Idea…?
