About Narvik Gondola Station Gondlijaam

Narviki gondlijaam on gondliliini mäetipujaam Norras Narviki linna kohal asuvas suusakuurordis. Jaam pakub varjulist ruumi, kus külastajad ja suusatajad gondlisse sisenevad ja sealt väljuvad, ning korraldab inimeste liikumisvoogu. Hoone on 41 meetrit pikk ja 15 kuni 26 meetrit lai, terassõrestiku ja raudbetoonvundamendiga. Matt must metallkate viitab kohalikule rauamaagitööstusele, sisekujunduses on kasutatud puitu. Hoone kuju on optimeeritud tugeva tuule ja suurte lumekoormuste jaoks.

Production Technology
The construction planning focused on optimising shape, construction and materials against heavy wind force and snow loads. Steel frame construction. Reinforced concrete foundations. Matte black metal cladding.
Design Challenge
Optimisation of the combination of gondola requirements and natural forces to be accounted for.
Research
Optimal positioning of gondola cable line, specific bottom and top station location as seen in connection with complete slopes, flow of people and overall organisation of resort. Climatic conditions, wind forces, snow loads and snow drift patterns. Functional requirements (visitors, skiers, technical requirements). Structure optimisation, shape and minimising material usage.
Inspiration
The design forms part of the overall design philosophy of the Narvik Arctic Resort which seeks to express a connection between the city's industrial history and the surrounding dramatic nature. Narvik is shipping-port for the rail and ship transportation of iron ore, represented in the black metal cladding and shaping of the buildings of the resort and the forested mountains represented in the wooden interiors.
Project Duration
Built during fall of 2018, opened for the 2019 winter season in Narvik, Norway.
Operation Flow
The structure is tailor made to gondola specifications and also climatic conditions, while at the same time adhering to the overall design strategy of the resort. It provides safe landing at the top of the mountain for the gondolas with visitors and skiers exiting or boarding the gondola in a sheltered space which also organise the traffic flow of people.
