Design Symbiosis
"Our project aims at unifying the various elements present in a ski jump into one single expression, shape and action… rather than having a series of dispersed pavilions, infrastructure on site we’ve managed to combine them into one organism. The judge booths, the commentators, the trainers, the royal family, the VIPs, the wind screens, the circulation, the lobby, the entrance to the arena and the arena itself, the lounge for the skiers, the shop of souvenirs, the access to the existing museum, the viewing public square at the very top, everything, is contained into the shape of the jump in a magical symbiosis of programs and experiences…" JDSArchitects.
