Climbing the picturesque in the Austrian mountains, and crossing the River Inn, the stunning new cable railway in Innsbruck (opened December 1st) features doubly curved glass, sweeping, fluid forms and designer Hadid’s signature ‘fluid’ expression. Architect Zaha Hadid explains “we wanted each station to use the fluid language of natural ice formations, like a frozen stream on the mountainside.”
 New production methods such as CNC milling and thermoforming guaranteed a very precise and automatic translation of the computer generated design into the built structure. The architects used state-of-the-art design and manufacturing technologies developed for the automotive industry to create the streamlined aesthetics of each station.
Nordpark Cable Railway continues Hadid’s quest for an architecture of seamless fluidity, representing Zaha Hadid Architects’ very latest contribution to the current global architectural discourse in digital design and construction.
