Courage or stupidity?
From its beginnings in the 1930s, ski flying has developed its own distinct history. Although the sport of skiing in North America is little more than a century old, researchers have dated a rock carving of a skier, found on the Norwegian island of Rodoy as being over 4,000 years old. Besides the spectacle of a human body flung into suspenseful precarity, it is difficult not to be fascinated by the infrastructure that supports the sport of ski flying; the provisional, often delicate, and yet sublime architectural structures that make human flight possible, if only briefly. This research sets out to collect and synthesize the history and spirit of the sport through an architectural analysis of its artifice, ambitions, spectacle, and folly.

The exhibition’s layout is structured as an historical narrative in three parts and told through architectural models, drawings and plans, photography, historical documents, literature, film and ephemera. Full-scale cabins, or full-scale structural fragments, are installed in several instances to provide palpable reference to materials, scale and building technique.
Among other exhibition elements, Goodweather worked with 7 students from the UBC School of Architecture to procure 20 scale models illustrating the evolution of the cabin as an enduring architectural typology that has survived numerous iterations while resonating deeply within out cultural psyche.
