ZHA Nordpark Cable Railway.

In the project there are four stations.
The concepts of Shell & Shadow

generate each stations spatial quality. A lightweight organic roof structure floats on top of a concrete plinth. The

fluid shapes and soft contours give

the appearance of glacier movements. New production methods like CNC milling and thermoforming allow computer generated designs to be made into buildings structure. Parts of the building look like cars, aeroplane wings, yachts. Large cantilevers and small touch down areas give a floating appearance to the shells.
