Roler koster stepenište

Iz daljine, izgleda kao zaboravljeni ostatak tematskog parka koji se pokupio i preselio - ali to je zapravo skulptura po kojoj se može hodati. 'Tigar & Kornjača - Magična planina ", kako joj je ime, diže se na zemljanom brdu iznad grada Duisburga u Nemačkoj, obećavajući čudnu avanturu onima koji pristupaju.Kada se priđe bliže, videćete da postoji deo ove petlje, vijugavog stepeništa koji izgleda kao da ide naopako, baš kao što bi pravi roller coaster. Na žalost, to je deo "magije".Arhitekte Heike Mutter i Ulrich Genth objašnjavaju, "Kad se bliže pogleda, javnost je razočarana na dobar način. Posetilac se penje peške preko strmim stepenica roller-coaster-skulpture. Dakle, skulptura se suptilno i ironično igra s dijalektikom obećanja i razočaranja, mobilnosti i mirovanja."LED svetla su integrisana u rukohvate tako da iako skulptura nije dostupna samo noću, ona deluje kao orijentir, vidljiv kilometrima. From afar, it looks like a forgotten relic of a theme park that has since picked up and moved on – but it’s actually a walkable sculpture. ‘Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain‘, as it’s named, rises on a dirt hill above the city of Duisburg, Germany, promising a strange adventure to those who approach.As you come closer, you’ll see that there’s a portion of this looping, curving stairway that seems to go upside-down, just as a real roller coaster would. Unfortunately, that’s part of the ‘magic’.Architects Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth explain, “Having a closer look, the public is disappointed in a disarming way. The visitor climbs on foot via differently steep steps the roller-coaster-sculpture. So the sculpture subtly and ironically plays with the dialectic of promise and disappointment, mobility and standstill.”LED lights were integrated into the handrails so that the sculpture is not only accessible at night, but acts as a landmark, visible for miles.
