About Narvik Gondola Station Istasyon ng Gondola
Ang Narvik Gondola Station ay ang istasyon sa tuktok ng bundok ng isang linya ng gondola sa isang ski resort sa itaas ng lungsod ng Narvik, Norway. Nag-aalok ang istasyon ng isang nasisilungang espasyo kung saan sumasakay at bumababa sa gondola ang mga bisita at mga skier, at inaayos nito ang daloy ng mga tao. Ang gusali ay may habang 41 metro at lapad na 15 hanggang 26 metro, na may balangkas na bakal at pundasyong reinforced concrete. Ang matte black na metal na panakip ay tumutukoy sa lokal na industriya ng iron ore, habang kahoy ang ginamit sa mga interior. Ang hugis nito ay in-optimize para sa malakas na hangin at mabibigat na pasanin ng niyebe.

- Unique Properties
- The Narvik top station is the mountain top station for the new gondola on the top point of the ski slopes in Narvikfjellet, a ski resort directly above the Narvik city centre and characterised by one of the steepest height to length ratios - from a 1000 meter above sea level down to the sea, offering some amazing scenery with the view out the Ofoten fiord to the World Heritage area of Lofoten.

- 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.
