Project Start 2016
Status Ongoing
The project rethinks the design of a sports centre. Slagelse is a city with big ambitions in terms of creating the best facilities for sport, health and exercise.
The city already offers a wide variety of specialised sports centres. This new centre is placed in relation to the campus area, and will host a wide range of users during all seasons of the year, both the semi-professionals and the elderly. As well as being a place for sport and exercise, it will also be a social gathering point, and will accommodate many different social events. The term sports centre does not really cover this new building, because it is so much more than a building for exercise. Diversity is what we aim to create.
MAIN CONCEPT
SITE ANALYSES
The main intention is to challenge the classic sports arena by turning it all around. Normally a sports arena is designed internally for a specific purpose, but instead we aim to create a series of spaces that interacts with the landscape. A building where the indoor and outdoors activities float together.
The site and its surroundings have determined the way the building is organized. The back of the building faces north towards the railways, and it opens up towards the south, where the landscape becomes a part of the outdoor facilities. Towards the east, the scale and functions are related to the campus area, and towards the west to the forest and the track.
LOGISTICS, STAY AND ACTIVITIES
RELATION BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
The close proximity of the activity rooms ensure that they can easily be joined together if a larger area is needed. You can access the building from all sides, and during summer the large doors facing south can be opened in the daytime.
The concept seeks to create an easy flow between inside and outside, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor will lead to new inspiring ways of using the house.
