The architecture competition to design a whole series of brand-new cable car stations – Olang I and II – in the South Tyrolean skiing resort Plan de Corones-Kronplatz is successfully concluded, and the contract was awarded to Hamburg-based studio schlotthauer matthiessen – architecturemade. With a distinctive roof made from translucent foil shaped like a wave, the project brings a nautical whiff of the far-away Hanseatic City to the Alps of the Pusteria-Pustertal valley: a design brimming with movement and transparency.
