The task of creating new buildings for the tourist industry on the legendary Pilatus mountain range is a great challenge but also a unique opportunity to position this world-famous location in a new era in terms of construction and as a result move on towards new horizons.
With this design proposal we aim to exploit the existing potential of the natural and built environment and enhance it with new, contemporary aspects in order to create a valuable and succinct building ensemble. This should do justice just as much to the pragmatic utilization-oriented demands as it does to the poetic and emotional aspects important for the identification aspect of the building. Form follows function und form follows the mountain.
We have thus developed the proposal for the new connecting walkway on the Pilatus mountain range based on the fundamental principle of cost-effectively creating buildings that have a high identification potential and a representative appearance, and which can be utilized in a wide variety of ways. Buildings that take advantage of the unique alpine qualities of the Pilatus mountains and make a lasting impression on the visitor.
