ABSTRACT

WHAT
Therefore we have a switch of roles in use, the mountain station, a place that during the day is used for waiting in order to have fun at the arrival, becomes the heart of the fun itself. The mountain stations which are «non-places» during the day, will become «event places». For example during the night a club or during the day a museum space.
​
HOW
The station is portion of a big event that develops at different heights, where the ropeway will be the experience of transit from one place to another. If until today you would have had to wait for the ropeway for more than 12 minutes, «more than twelve» challenges you to change your mindset on the waiting time.
​
FOR WHOM
When concerning ropeways located in the mountains, the aim is to switch the use of the structures, where in the day time they continue to have their normal use, that of transportation for people who love mountain activities and sports, and in during night have it become points of attraction for “party lover”. In the case of ropeways located in the city, the structures can host cultural events.
When concerning ropeways located in the cities, the structure development starts from three stations. The stations can host any kind of cultural event that happen in various areas. In this instance, the ropeways will function not only as a place of transit but also as an extension of the experience itself.
MOUNTAIN
more than a club
In the mountains, the structure of ropeways stay the same throughout the entire system during the day to enable its normal function as a means of transport for the mountains lovers. The variant emerges during the night time, when the stations turn into clubs on more heights. Even in this case the cabin becomes an extension of the experience.
ROPEWAY SYSTEM
When looking at the club, the person that enters can choose how much time they want to spend in the first club-station, and when they want to switch, simply use the >12app.
In the case of the museum, the experience is divided in two parts: the first is a traditional exhibition while the second part is an interactive extension of the cultural experience.
CITY
more than a museum
The cabin has a dimension of 86,1113 square foot and can contain a maximum of 8-10 people.
>12 APP
