The 4 Rural Towers

In an unusual landscape that mixes rural, urban, industrial, and agriculture, the vertical elements are, unintentionally, the landmarks; the church hints the town center, while the windmills allude to the west, and the electric towers to the east. The rural towers reinterpret this effect, and merging it with the residential pressure, provoked by the nearby Brussels, proposes 4 towers aligned with the town main street perspectives. By doing so, these are visible from the township, while combines in dimension and silhouette with the vertical elements to define the landscape from far away.
