Site work has just started high in the mountains of the Medeu Valley in Kazakhstan, marking the realisation of a recent win for HOK International: a masterplan design for a village and ski resort catering for nearby city dwellers. Medeu Village and Ski Resort is being developed by international property developer Capital Partners and, with HOK’s imaginative and sustainable design, is destined to become a premier ski destination with the Asian Games due to be held in 2011 in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city. Up to 10,000 people per day will potentially visit Medeu to enjoy skiing, skating and the national park. It is located at 5,200 ft (1600m) in the Tien Shan mountain range, 30km south of Almaty.

Muito interessante a textura que a fachada produz, é o Raumplan do Loos mas na vertical. As flexões que a parede faz ajudam a definir o limite da função do espaço interior. Mas, apenas olhando para as imagens nunca me passaria pela cabeça que isto é para ser feito no Cazaquistão.

Chefe... estas a mostrar os interiores para que? Ninguem quer ir morar no Cazaquistao a nao ser que haja um atelier... que pague muito bem.
