@MZ & Johanna

I’m afraid that humans are part of nature too – don’t ever forget that we not just outside observers.

If you’re a small child, this gives the experience of being on the edge of a cliff without the risk. The integration with the landscape seems well considered too.

Very clever design. And to everyone who says that this is “out of place” or it destroys the nature, you can obviously see that it’s beside some sort of resort, since you can see a chair lift at the bottom of the canyon.

I like how the structure attaches to the earth. it makes me think of the work of lucy and bart.

I have to agree with johanna. The project is beautiful, but totally unneccessary. It destroys the very thing it tries to show. We are all impressed from the natural beauty of the place. Now take the same photos and try to imagine WITHOUT the structure. WOW! If you are standing next to the platform you can enjoy the same beautiful view as from the structure, with one minor difference: if you stand ON the structure, you don´t have to look at it.
Further more, unfortunately I have to say, that the pictures are taken from a carefully chosen angle: on the otherside is a mountain-cabin with a restaurant just a hundred meters climb down the mountain, which is connected with the valley below through a cable lift. In other words: this mountain has been raped: cable lift, lodge, viewing platform. Imagine that all the surrounding mountains so highly installed…no, please don´t.
Let nature be nature.
