Lufthansa is one of the world's leading airlines and a partner in the Star Alliance, the largest network of international airline companies. Their new headquarters are at the centre of Europe's most efficient transport junction, where Frankfurt Airport, motor-ways, and ICE high-speed train lines cross. The comb-like building plan of the Aviation Centre, with ten wings, encloses landscaped gardens as buffer zones, insulating the building against air polluting emissions and noise.
Plants chosen from five continents symbolise Lufthansa's global connections. All 1,850 office workplaces have views into the glass roofed gardens and can be naturally ventilated. The open central passage connects all the different areas. On completion of the second construction stage this communicative building will house 4,500 employees and include building wings embracing 28 gardens.
The roof of the new Lufthansa Aviation Center at Frankfurt Airport is 55,000m^2 of glass lattice inspired by the shape of a paraglider. The futuristic office building provides 1,800 people with a light and airy space in which to work, not just at state of the art workstations, but also in nine indoor gardens. As a certified "low energy building", the LAC requires only one third the energy of a conventional office building. It reflects Lufthansa's cor[orate philosophy by combining the aviation groups' business policy with ecological considerations and sustainability.



The atriums are naturally ventilated and, as "climate buffers', they do their bit to ensure low heating energy consumption in the building. In winter, the temperature does not sink below zero-degrees Celsius, and in the middle of the year temperatures are that of a moderate Mediterranean climate. The gardens are not just a part of the energetic conception, they also possess a considerable overarching spatial quality.

Solar panels and wind turbines appears to be the future architecture of the standard, and is particularly suitable for the lack of supporting modern wilderness. The ski theme about 95 luxury hotel rooms, building backbone designed to bend the big slopes, tourists can be up to 4000 feet from the chute began to enter the natural snow skiing, even in summer, the hotel will maintain a manual Snow Road.

Cities in Northern Europe and Russia, sometimes, you will see in the square huge ladder scaffold. Soon as the snow, an artificial ski will provoke many people come to play. The slide and hotel combined, showing the building is 1000 change. Architecture combines the colorful life of the people, and numerous features to meet behind the cultural and economic rationality.

Juvet Landscape Hotel

Architects: Jensen & Skodvin Arkitektkontor
Location: Gudbrandsjuvet, Norway
Design Period: 2004-2007
Construction period: 2007-2008
Client: Knut Slinning
Project Architects: Jan Olav Jensen (pl), Børre Skodvin, Torunn Golberg Helge Lunder, Torstein Koch; Thomas Knigge




One of the local residents at Gudbrandsjuvet, Knut Slinning, is building a landscape hotel. The idea emerged at another site, Aurland, but was not realized there.



Basically each room is a detached small independent house with one, or sometimes two of the walls constructed in glass. The landscape in which these rooms are placed is by most people considered spectacularly beautiful and varied and the topography allows a layout where no room looks at another. In this way every room gets its own surprising view of a dramatic piece of landscape, always changing with the weather and the time of the day and the season.
