Visualisierung/Visualisation: Studio Monte Rosa, Prof. Andrea Deplazes, D-ARCH, ETH ZürichThe mountain hut (
Neue Monte Rosa Hütte) is one of many projects initiated to mark the
150th anniversary of the ETH Zurich. It is an ambitious building project for a forward-looking SAC hut on 2883 meters above sea level, ustainable in terms of energy and ecology. The ambitious target: 90 per cent energy self-sufficiency! The energy is gained from an 85m² photovoltaic plant built into the south facade of the building. The hut will cost about 4.2 million Euro (5.5 million USD) and will be able to use the new hut from autumn 2009.

I think this building is really good. I like the fact that they have enhanced the local area. In the mountains they don't usually worry about architecture.
