Cable car by Zaha Hadid in Innsbruck

On Friday, December 2, 2005, construction began on a cable car in Innsbruck, with stops designed by London architect Zaha Hadid. Her first local realization - the Bergisel ski jump - proved to be exceedingly successful for tourism, making it easy to secure 50.6 million euros for the cable car that will replace the existing one and will run from the congress building around the Löwenhaus hotel and the alpine zoo to Hungerburg Castle. Each of the proposed stops serves as grips for giants wishing to conquer the mountain. Info>
