The Danish practice have sent us these new renderings of the project.

    It’s a magnificent prehistoric beast!

    The second rendering calls to mind a scene in Bunuel’s “Discreet Charm of the Bourgeousie”–except here instead of the walkway being fraught with existential middle class angst, this has a “burning bush” sense of awe.

    It’s the feeling of being humbled by majesty (of nature)–without the prerequisite fascism lurking behind…

    Actually Garmisch sucks though, this one is far more interesting, diagramatic and has much more interesting forms and programme, yes its a canteliver but its just so fucking much better!

    Looking forward to seeing this coming up out of the ground. I can see the area from my kitchen window and the scene is not quite the same without the sillouette of the ski jump. this one will be fantastic to see and I do hope the lighting will be as dramatic as in the original renderings.

    This will be a nice change. The current ski jump is not much to look at, but sitting up on the hill overlooking the city it is a great opportunity for some architecture.

    this is a funny example of how an average office posts an average design and then spends a whole day to hype themselves. u guys should use ur time to make this unique. its not that great dudes..

    average idea for a beautiful site. bjarke should be able to provide a more exciting scheme than this…

    btw i strongly recommend this issue of volume magazine for every jds lover/hater. the interview titled mismanagement. i think jeffery inaba is being diplomatically sarcastic to him. julien de smedt also admits his chaotic working agenda and the intern-abusing nature of his office (becareful before you applied JDS for a job).

    btw i think it’s obvious that jhonny 5 is the associate of jds…

    Have a look at nicely organised Architectural practises for example Foster and Partners. They had to send home 1000 people out of 2000 because of the Credit Crunc and they are notoriously taking advantage on students… for FREE. I agree, after a certain number of people (usually 130) is a bit difficult to keep an eye on everything. Especially for an artist, who was made to create. BUT : Chaos can leads to perfection.

    Proposal we submitted or the Holmenkollen competition, rather similar to JDS:
