About Narvik Gondola Station Gondola stansiyasi

Narvik gondola stansiyasi — Norvegiyaning Narvik shahri tepasidagi chang'i kurortida joylashgan gondola liniyasining tog' cho'qqisidagi stansiyasidir. Stansiya mehmonlar va chang'ichilar gondolaga chiqib-tushadigan pana joyni taqdim etadi hamda odamlar oqimini tartibga soladi. Binoning uzunligi 41 metr, eni esa 15 dan 26 metrgacha bo'lib, po'lat karkas va temir-beton poydevorga ega. Xira qora metall qoplama mahalliy temir rudasi sanoatiga ishora qiladi, ichki makonlarda esa yog'och ishlatilgan. Binoning shakli kuchli shamol va og'ir qor yuklariga moslashtirilgan holda optimallashtirilgan.

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.
