Time's Design 100

Today's "most influential" design, according to Time Magazine.
{People and Ideas}






















"Great design is no longer reserved solely for
museum-worthy products"


For Nordpark Cable Railway, by Zaha Hadid: Innsbruck, Austria:
"The stations—double-curvature glass shells that seem to hover above concrete platforms—were conceived with particular care toward the specific topography and surroundings of each location. To achieve each one's unique appearance of a flowing ice formation frozen in place, Hadid studied glacial moraines and ice movements."
