Can you imagine building a 1,200-square-metre,three-story twin-tower wooden house
without a single nail?Dong-ethnic grandpa Shi Shanzhang amazed people with such a
project.Many people call him a"living Lu Ban".
But Shi's journey began with tragedy.In 1974,a fire swept through Gaopei Village
in Guangxi.It destroyed hundreds of wooden houses.With only one skilled house builder
in the area,reconstruction (was slow.Shi,then in his early twenties,was eager to help.
He began observing construction work on different sites during the day.At night,
he would“pile up timber((堆木材)”in his mind.There was no serious training..I just
watched,remembered and tried to learn,"Shi said.
Later,Shi felt ready to build his own house-a three-story wooden structure.He cut,

Nobody likes to see the view spoiled (by power lines,but they are often a
necessary part of modern life.What if these power lines could become interesting sights?
This imaginative idea feels like a win-win-combining function with creativity.And it is
exactly the thinking behind a project that turns power line pylons()into giant animal
sculptures.
The project is called Austrian Power Giants.It was created by the Austrian Power Grid
along with two other companies.The idea is simple but meaningful:each of Austria's nine
federal states would have its own style of pylon in the form of an animal that represents()
the state.
"This nature-inspired design is meant to become a symbol for nature-friendly projects.
The public has responded warmly to the idea,with many expressing excitement about the
creative designs,"explains the Austrian Power Grid.
The project won the Red Dot Design Award.Small models of the giant sculptures are
exhibited at Singapore's Red Dot Museum until October 2026,where they can be viewed in
第3页共6页
more detail.So far,just two of the nine designs have been explored.The stork (a kind of
bird)was chosen as the symbolic animal of Burgenland while the stag (a kind of deer)was
chosen to represent Lower Austria.Both sculptures look really amazing.
Looking to the future,it's not yet clear whether the rest will actually be built.There are
some problems such as whether it will use a lot more steel to build them.But the Austrian
Power Grid says the design has been tested for electrical safety.The idea seems to have
legs.and similar efforts have been considered in Iceland and elsewhere.

D.The Red Dot Design Award was given to the two finished designs
()23.According to the passage,what is still uncertain about the project?
