Reaching out from the famous Holmenkollen hill, high into the sky above Oslo, Copenhagen based JDS Architects‘ majestic construction is in equal parts breath-taking and, thinking briefly from a competitors perspective, positively terrifying. From it’s graceful, sloped profile to the flat top with open-air viewing platform that affords spectacular views of the Oslo fjord and city, the new ski jump and 50,000 seat amphitheatre provides the Norwegian capital with a truly unique icon that reinforces their position as the dominant force in international ski-jumping ahead of the 2011 world championships.
