Switzerland: a construction made of glass and steel to admire the landscape on top of the Stockhorn
 
 
Une plate-forme transparente en anneau perchée à 2105 mètres d'altitude au coeur des Alpes bernoises pour scruter jusqu'à la Forêt-Noire : c'est le "piercing" un peu fou imaginé pour le sommet du Stockhorn.

Depuis 2001, pour admirer la vue côté nord du sommet du Stockhorn dans les Alpes bernoises, les touristes s'arrêtaient devant les deux fenêtres creusées dans la paroi rocheuse, les fameux yeux du Stockhorn. Pour attirer encore plus de clients la direction du Stockhornbahna décidé de construire pour le printemps prochain un étrange anneau de verre et de métal, cette passerelle viendra percer le sommet du Stockhorn à 2105 mètres d'altitude. L'accès se fera par le téléphérique existant depuis Erlenbach puis on empruntera un tunnel qui ménera à un anneau de 13 mètres de diamètre et de 1,4 mètre de large qui sera glissé dans les deux ouvertures déjà existantes. Le projet du cabinet d'architectes Brügger Architekten AGpermettra une vue plongeante à 50 personnes simultanément sur un à-pic de 400 m pour un coût de construction de 500 000 francs suisses.

Why studying Design in Italy?
 
Milano represents one of the most important chapters in the history of Design. Here, in 1993, were born the first University undergraduate course in Industrial Design, asserting the importance of the design discipline within the academic training.
 
Milan, worldwidely known as the capital of design, fashion and Italian creativity, has in the Politecnico University a melting pot for different cultures that mix technical studies with creative and artistic ideas. In addition, it succeeded in building a dialogue with the important management and business tradition of the little-medium italian companies.
The teachers are expression of cultural difference, belonging from different areas of the academic world: managers, designers, fuglemen of culture or services or work associations, and contribute creating and stimulating the cultural context.
Studying Design at Politecnico means interact with a city celebrated such as the world capital of design.

Milano it’s the ideal set to forge new designers, due to its ethnic variety and cultural exchange: on this stage young designers present their projects and swap ideas. The peculiarity of POLI.design is its expertise. In fact, the Consortium systematically involves the resources of the Politecnico’s Faculties, integrating the architecture and engineering competencies with visiting lecturers, creating unusual combinations among the university, its practices, the market and its students.

Today, Milan is where influent choices are made, expecially in the productive design oriented sectors that brought the made in Italy to a worldwide fame.
