The Kopaonik Ski Resort in Central Serbia proves that a collaboration of both architecture and love of sport gives birth to some of the most creative ideas, pushing sport to the next level. The Resort recently designed a [ski ramp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-house) that is daunting to say the least. What is even more endearing about it’s structure and functionality is the [viewing platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baker-creek-pavilion) and coffee shop located at the very top. Whether you are just a spectator or you dare to go down this treacherous ski jump, everyone can appreciate it’s awe-inspiring imaginative design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sports Architecture:** Sports and architecture collaborate to create innovative and awe-inspiring designs, pushing the boundaries of sport. - **Extreme Skiing:** The design of daunting ski ramps and jumps elevates the experience for both spectators and daring athletes. - **Multi-functional Structures:** Structures that serve multiple purposes, such as combining viewing platforms and cafes, add value and convenience for visitors. ### Where This Applies - **Sports Facilities:** Innovative architecture in sports facilities enhances the overall experience for athletes and spectators. - **Adventure Tourism:** Extreme ski jumps and ramps create opportunities for thrilling experiences in the adventure tourism industry. - **Hospitality:** Integrating coffee shops and viewing platforms into structures offers new possibilities for hospitality venues in scenic locations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Elevated Urban Skate Venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aan-architects.md) - [Mountaintop Viewpoint Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena.md) - [Mountainous Holiday Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel-rusutsu.md) - [Contemporary Ski Home Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traditional-ski-chalet.md) - [Sleek Spiralling Ramp Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czech-pavilion.md) - [Record-Breaking Skate Megaramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bulls-building-drop.md) - [Mountainous Alpine Hotel Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-spa-hotel.md) - [Ukranian Multi-Sports Venue Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kolchyno-ice-center.md)
