Bergisel Ski Jump 2002
Bergisel Mountain, Austria
"The Ski Jump is a concise piece of functional design, an instrument for high performance sport, shaped with mathematical precision. The challenge here was to integrate a new, initially alien element into a given formula: The cafŽ and Sundeck. The assemblage of elements was resolved in the manner of nature, developing a seamless hybrid, where parts are smoothly articulated and fused into an organic unity. The result is a rather unusual silhouette on Bergisel."

The shape of it is just so beautiful... even if it didn't have a purpose, it would be a stunning sculpture.
