following up on our earlier coverages of the project, the 'holmenkollen ski jump' by JDS architects
has been completed and is to be the host of the 2011 FIS nordic world ski championships, running from
23 of february to 06 march, 2011 in oslo, norway. led by belgian-french architect julien de smedt,
the project is a competition win from 2008.

choosing to unify the various amenities together into a holistic design, the elegant serpentine form
organizes the project's programs along its curvilinear diagram. a panoramic observation deck is help
at the head of the structure while the judge's booth along with the spectators' seating is arranged
at the bottom of the slope. an inclined elevator assists with the circulation while wind screens clad
in aluminum and glass flank both sides of the run.
the result of a close collaboration with local engineering firm, norconsult, the ski jump rises
58 meters in the air, cantilevering a further 69 meters.
