Skatepark in a Box

Skatepark in a Box

Fits everywhere

“Skatepark in a Box” can be set up almost anywhere in the world – even in crisis areas.

The contai­ners are the decisive stage of deve­lo­p­ment, because on the one hand they expand the range of oppor­tu­ni­ties, and on the other hand they create secure storage faci­li­ties.

“Skate­park in a Box” is a new concept, flexible and sustainable at the same time, for the further deve­lo­p­ment of mobile skate­parks all over the world.

As its name suggests, the project consists of a skate­park and a box. The skate­park is tail­ored to the on-site condi­tions by the Cologne land­scape archi­tect and skate­park specia­list Ralf Maier. The box is made from an over­seas ship­ping container, which the Stutt­gart company KuKuk Box trans­forms into a versa­tile sports and leisure faci­lity.

The contai­ners are the decisive stage of deve­lo­p­ment, because on the one hand they expand the range of oppor­tu­ni­ties, and on the other hand they create secure storage faci­li­ties (espe­ci­ally for the sports equip­ment).

This means that “Skate­park in a Box” can be set up almost anywhere in the world: in large inner-city squares, in the coun­try­side, in niches and alcoves — but also in crisis areas, where oppor­tu­ni­ties like this are perhaps even more important than anywhere else.

The sponsor of this concept, and of many skate faci­li­ties world­wide, is the skate-aid foun­da­tion.

The concept works just as well as a temporary installation for events as it does for the permanent enrichment of sports and leisure activities.

The converted contai­ners are the crucial constant at “Skate­park in a Box” because the storage faci­li­ties in parti­cular guarantee that they can be used safely and secu­rely around the world. As well as a skate­park, the sports and exer­cise offer can also include a BMX trail, for example.

The contai­ners provide space for all the neces­sary equip­ment. The mobile ramps are stored in a space-saving way, the bikes and scoo­ters are anchored to holders, the boards are neatly stacked on rails and the protec­tive equip­ment, like the helmets and the knee and elbow pads, are sorted by size into boxes under the counter.

There is even a toolbox and a first-aid kit on board.

 

A folding bench and coat hooks make it easy to move the container, or to turn it into a lounge with seating and recrea­tional faci­li­ties, a meeting place for real experts to talk shop and exch­ange expe­ri­ences.

The only thing missing is the camp­fire.

“Skate­park in a Box” is extre­mely flexible. The concept is just as suitable as a tempo­rary instal­la­tion for events or during reno­va­tion work as it is as a perma­nent addi­tion to sports and leisure faci­li­ties.

As the contai­ners are deli­vered prefa­bri­cated by lorry to their desti­na­tion and require no further design or foun­da­tions, assembly and possible dismant­ling are also very easy to imple­ment.

“Skatepark in a Box” promotes not only athletic development, but also individual and social development.

 

The combi­na­tion of sports faci­li­ties and contai­ners has great poten­tial, espe­ci­ally for social projects. As soon as the faci­li­ties have been set up, a programme with free skate­boar­ding work­shops, inclu­ding provi­ding sports equip­ment, can be started on site.

The skate-aid foun­da­tion has a lot of expe­ri­ence in trai­ning local coaches who run the skate parks inde­pendently and super­vise skaters.

 

In this way, “Skate­park in a Box” promotes not only athletic deve­lo­p­ment, but also indi­vi­dual and social deve­lo­p­ment – for children and young people as well as for coaches.

“Skate­park in a Box” has already been set up at several loca­tions, inclu­ding Cologne-Ehren­feld, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Wester­wald, Berlin and in a refugee camp in Pirlita/Balti (Moldova).

There are two vari­ants of the KuKuk box:

One variant can be trans­ported by truck, while the other is also suitable for ship­ping — for example, for use in crisis regions.

During the FSB 2023 there will be plenty of opportunities to experience and try out the “Skatepark in a Box” concept.

During the FSB 2023 there will be plenty of oppor­tu­ni­ties to expe­ri­ence and try out the “Skate­park in a Box” concept – for example in the outdoor area of Hall 9. In addi­tion, Ralf Maier will present his projects through lectures and an exhi­bi­tion.

KuKuk Box has been buil­ding artis­ti­cally desi­gned, inno­va­tive and style-defi­ning play and outdoor spaces throug­hout the world for over 15 years. KuKuk’s expe­ri­enced team is made up of artists, archi­tects, carpen­ters, joiners, metal­wor­kers and educa­tors – and will also be on site during the FSB.

Play containers for Ukraine

Play containers for Ukraine

Playing helps

Through play, the traumatised children of Ukraine can at least find some distraction. So play containers are a very important initiative for them.

Children in Ukraine are living through destruction and trauma. Thanks to the support of numerous organisations, new play opportunities have now been created at two locations.

 

The war against Ukraine has had a devas­ta­ting impact, inclu­ding, of course, for the children living there. Wars do not only cause physical destruc­tion, they also affect access to educa­tion and play. Many Ukrai­nian schools and kinder­gar­tens have been damaged or shut down.

Children in war zones suffer from psycho­lo­gical stress and trauma. The sounds of bombs and gunshots, losing loved ones and living in constant uncer­tainty leave deep marks on a child’s psyche.

This is where the importance of supporting initia­tives and aid orga­ni­sa­tions which aim to provide comfort and help — or at least distrac­tion — to children during this diffi­cult time comes into play.

An important example of these kinds of initia­tives are the Kukuk Box play contai­ners for Ukraine.

The first play area was set up in the yard of a social centre in Lviv, which is temporarily being used for displaced people.

A KuKuk Box is an attrac­tive public and flexible play and meeting place which can be set up in a short time and at a low cost.

Thanks to the support of orga­ni­sa­tions and initia­tives such as “Urban Camp Lviv”, “Notfall­päd­agogik”, “Aktion Deutsch­land hilft” and the company Hilti, new play oppor­tu­ni­ties have already been created at two loca­tions which have been parti­cu­larly affected.

 

The first play area was created in the yard of a social centre in Lviv, which is tempo­r­a­rily being used for displaced people. The city of Lviv is located in the west of Ukraine and is a regular target of Russian attacks.

The second play container is located in the Olek­siyiv district of Kharkiv, an area which has also been heavily affected by Russian aggres­sion. 

Next to the play­ground is a special educa­tional complex for children with hearing impairm­ents, and they now have their own play space.

A KuKuk Box offers adven­ture for all ages. There are clim­bing struc­tures and slides, play­houses and sand­boxes, reading corners and more. 

The fully-fledged play­ground encou­rages a lot of move­ment while, at the same time, offe­ring retreat areas which allow for inten­sive play – and offer protec­tion.

No excava­tion, or concrete foun­da­tions which last forever, are required to cons­truct it. This saves money and time.

The KuKuk Box is deli­vered by truck and can be set up in just a few hours.

Playing is not a luxury, playing is a vital elixir of life — and a human right.

Barrancabermeja

A roof for Barrancabermeja´s Parks

Architecture ist action

A roof over a sports area can do a lot. This one is located in Barrancabermeja, a town with 191,000 inhabitants in the north of Colombia. It’s not just about protection from the weather, but also about social interaction.

“Architecture is action” say the architects.

#

Barrancabermeja

In Barranca­ber­meja, a muni­ci­pa­lity on the banks of the river Magda­lena, in Colombia’s depart­ment of Santander, stands this open pavi­lion contai­ning recrea­tional and sports faci­li­ties. The 7,000-square-meter public center is protected by a modular struc­ture raised on slender columns, faci­li­ta­ting future enlar­ge­ments.

The system of elon­gated rhombi has openings to filter in sunlight and incor­po­rate venti­la­tors, sprink­lers, and sound and lighting devices.

Prototype

This projects aim is to create an open space that gives true rele­vance to the role of the commu­nity in the cons­truc­tion of a city.

A modular system is composed from an elon­gated rhombus type piece that multi­plies and unites in a base module or a comple­men­tary module, making an adap­table and progres­si­vely growing and trans­forming struc­ture. A vast gene­ra­tive ceiling emerges from a series of connected and raised pieces that allow exis­ting and unique reali­ties of its loca­tion to infil­trate within its inte­riors.

A sequence of physical percep­tions based on natural factors such as humi­dity, heat, cold or lumi­no­sity accom­pa­nied by controlled elements like light filtra­tion, fans and asper­sers, or sound and water imple­men­ta­tions, create a spon­ta­neous atmo­sphere that make people sensible to their own bodies rela­ti­onship with nature.

Structure

The struc­ture acts as a tool for promo­ting any sort of acti­vi­ties ranging from spor­tive, ludic, economic, academic and cultural, to social, taking advan­tage of its open kind that suggests inter­ac­tions between people and with nature.

The design is defined by the trees’ and bushes’ shape, which deter­mine if the struc­ture bends, expands or wraps around them.

Norddeich National Park Promenade

Norddeich National Park Promenade

All inclusive

This project merges the concerns of nature and coastal protection and the interests of tourism into a symbiosis which is profitable in every respect.

On an area of 13.6 ha, the entire beach area between the water’s edge and the dyke has been redesigned and revitalised by attractive beach and leisure facilities.

The rede­sign of Norddeich’s beach section under the name “Nord­deich National Park Prome­nade” is part of the contem­po­rary rede­sign and beau­ti­fi­ca­tion of the entire counter-dyke area. The aim of this huge tourist infra­struc­ture project is to create a high quality of stay and recrea­tion, as well as new, varied leisure acti­vi­ties which can be used by all people.

Tourism on the North Sea coast is of great economic importance for the region, but it also poses enormous chal­lenges with regard to nature conser­va­tion and coastal protec­tion. The high number of visi­tors and the cons­truc­tion of tourist faci­li­ties such as hotels, holiday homes or camp­sites are pollu­ting the sensi­tive ecosys­tems of the coastal region.

So, when rede­sig­ning the beach area of Nord­deich, the Norden district as a deve­loper was concerned with striking a balance between the concerns of nature conser­va­tion and coastal protec­tion on the one hand, and the inte­rests of tourism and economic deve­lo­p­ment on the other.

On an area of 13.6 ha, the entire beach area between the water’s edge and the dyke has been rede­si­gned and revi­ta­lised by attrac­tive beach and leisure faci­li­ties. In addi­tion, the dunes have been preserved, reha­bi­li­tated and extended to the west.

The design was entrusted to Arge WES Land­schafts­Ar­chi­tektur with INROS Lackner. The overall design concept was deve­loped by WES Land­schafts­Ar­chi­tektur.

The design had to reconcile the desired attractiveness of the beach area and the tourist offers with the concerns of nature conservation and coastal protection.

Goals and Chal­lenges

Tourism is an important economic factor for the Norden district, because the North Sea coast is a very popular tourist desti­na­tion. In order to increase the attrac­ti­ve­ness of the region and to assert itself against the offers of the islands of Norderney and Juist directly oppo­site, the aim was to create versa­tile leisure acti­vi­ties which could be used by ever­yone. So acces­si­bi­lity was of the grea­test importance in the entire project area, from the dyke crossing to the water’s edge.

The design had to recon­cile the desired attrac­ti­ve­ness of the beach area and the tourist offers with the concerns of nature conser­va­tion and coastal protec­tion. In addi­tion, the connec­tion of the village Nord­deich with the dune and beach land­scape had to be improved.

The total cons­truc­tion time was four years, but the net cons­truc­tion time was only 20 months. This was due to the fact that the cons­truc­tion period was limited to five months a year (April to September) due to the dyke protec­tion and storm surge protec­tion.

The total cons­truc­tion cost was around €17 million gross.

The promenade offers visitors a barrier-free circular route along the dyke, the dunes, the beach and the water’s edge. 

Circular route and World Natural Heri­tage

The heart of the project is the prome­nade, which is laid out as a circular path. It offers visi­tors a barrier-free circular route along the dyke, the dunes, the beach and the water’s edge. A new, barrier-free ramp system at the guest’s house makes it easier to cross the dyke.

 

Along the edge of the water, the newly built revet­ment and the stair­cases in it shape the image. These exten­sive stair­cases offer gene­rous faci­li­ties for sitting and lying down as well as access to the water. They are also equipped with showers and foot showers. A ramp system with a slope of three percent also allows people with disa­bi­li­ties to access the water.

 

Another goal of the reno­va­tion of the Nord­deich National Park prome­nade was to make the Wadden Sea World Heri­tage tangible for visi­tors. In addi­tion to the rede­sign of the dune, an educa­tional trail with 20 stations, a salt marsh land­scape, an infor­ma­tion container as well as play and adven­ture elements for children and young people were also created.

 

The beach land­scape is divided into three areas: the dog beach is located in the west, the swim­ming beach in the middle and the sports beach in the east.

Problems and pecu­lia­ri­ties

Due to the influence of the tides, espe­ci­ally during the storm tides, and the cons­truc­tion in the tidal area, all the struc­tures and instal­la­tions had to be stati­cally dimen­sioned against the maximum water level and wave impact. Step systems, ramps and the revet­ment to the Wadden Sea could only be erected at low water, i.e. in a time window of just six hours.

For reasons of dyke protec­tion, all the other faci­li­ties had to be built in a way which made them easy to dismantle, because this is what will happen to them at the begin­ning of the storm tide season – inclu­ding showers, play and sports equip­ment, fitness equip­ment, wooden benches, sani­tary and infor­ma­tion contai­ners as well as the handrails into the Wadden Sea.

The aim was to give all guests the opportunity to experience the promenade and the Wadden Sea regardless of any restrictions they might have.

A journey for all

The design should also meet the acces­si­bi­lity quality criteria for a “Travel for All” certi­fi­ca­tion. The aim was to give all guests the oppor­tu­nity to expe­ri­ence the prome­nade and the Wadden Sea regard­less of any rest­ric­tions they might have. “Travel for All” is a rating and infor­ma­tion system which allows guests to assess the suita­bi­lity of tourist offers for their indi­vi­dual needs them­selves.

 

The state of Lower Saxony has awarded the project due to its acces­si­bi­lity in the cate­go­ries People with walking disa­bi­li­ties, Wheel­chair users, People with visual impairm­ents and Blind people. In addi­tion, the Nord­deich National Park Prome­nade has already been nomi­nated for the “German Land­scape Archi­tec­ture Award 2023” and the “Polis Award 2023”.

Conclu­sion

The new Nord­deich National Park prome­nade merges the concerns of nature and coastal protec­tion and the inte­rests of tourism into a symbiosis which is profi­table in every respect.

Visible results are the direct acces­si­bi­lity of the Wadden Sea via barrier-free ramps and steps, the crea­tion of an extra­or­di­nary leisure, sports and games offer as well as the preser­va­tion and reha­bi­li­ta­tion of the dune, salt meadow and Wadden Sea.

 

Of course, this exem­plary project is also a great benefit for all users, whether or not they have rest­ricted mobi­lity, for old and young, locals and holi­day­makers — simply for all people.

Nanhua Glimmer Park

Nanhua Glimmer Park

Quite foggy

Nanhua Glimmer Park celebrates the regional natural features and translates them into geometric forms of landscape design. Quite extraordinary.

Nanhua Glimmer Park is the result of the transformation of a school campus into a landscape park with numerous sporting activities — and with fog.

Nanhua Glimmer Park is the result of the trans­for­ma­tion of a disused school site into a land­scaped park with nume­rous sports faci­li­ties — and with fog. The site is located at the foot of Mount Taimu in Ping­tung County, Taiwan.

The archi­tects from Atelier Let’s and JR Archi­tects have preserved the original character of the site and added new social and ecolo­gical func­tions.

Nanhua Mica Park now serves as a meeting place for all gene­ra­tions, a centre of agri-cultural inno­va­tion, a proto­type drai­nage system — and a sports faci­lity.

The design objective was to create a public space for everyone. This

The design objec­tive was to create a public space for ever­yone. This meant remo­ving the old school wall, desig­ning barrier-free paths and elimi­na­ting height diffe­rences.

The conti­nuous curvature of the concrete retai­ning walls aims to recall the patterns of the pineapple fields and the folds of the moun­tain ridges.

The chosen plant diver­sity on campus offers an ecolo­gical educa­tional expe­ri­ence to the public — inclu­ding edible plants on green hills and aquatic plants in the eco-pond.

Nanhua Glimmer Park celebrates the regional natural features and translates them into geometric forms of landscape design.

Another focus of this project is the deve­lo­p­ment of an “inte­grated” irri­ga­tion system. In coope­ra­tion with local suppliers, a concept was created that serves two purposes: It provides the plants with suffi­cient water, and it creates the spec­ta­cular fog scenario inspired by the moun­tain mists. The system for crea­ting the mist is inte­grated into the lighting system.

This misty glow reflects the night fog over the back of Mount Taimu as it drifts across the maho­gany forest, pineapple fields and ridges.

Nanhua Glimmer Park cele­brates the regional natural features and trans­forms them into geome­tric forms of land­scape design — in a very outstan­ding way.

Gigantium Urban Space

Gigantium Urban Space in Aalborg

Bus stop

An extremely activating design for a former loading area between two large sports halls.

Gigantium Urban Space vitalises a former loading zone between two large sports halls in Aalborg’s largest sports and cultural centre.

The Gigan­tium is Aalborg’s largest sports and cultural centre. It houses several large event halls, an ice rink, a swim­ming hall and an athle­tics hall — all with several thousand spec­tator seats.

Between these large buil­dings there are usually not very attrac­tive loading zones and traffic areas.

Assi­gned to trans­form a former loading area into a new plaza, our vision has been to create an urban space where sports and cultural life inside Gigan­tium – Aalborg’s biggest sports- and culture center – are carried further out to the outdoor space. Shades of red and white playful streaks lead people from the street into the square and give iden­tity to the concrete elements.

Gigantium Urban Space is a bus stop, an attractive place to stay and a meeting place.

Located in front of a green field with grazing sheep and a local bicycle route, the new red plaza makes a great contrast to the surroun­ding area.

The red carpet guides visi­tors to the urban plaza, invi­ting them to stop by, hang out, or play. Many shapes of rouge divide the fore­court into diffe­rent sections along with playful white lines.

When follo­wing the lines, people are met by diffe­rent rails, plateaus, steps, graphics, and gree­nery invi­ting them to sports, games, and accom­mo­da­tion. The diffe­rent expres­sions are all tied toge­ther, crea­ting an exci­ting entrance that estab­lish Gigan­tium as a place for sports and enter­tain­ment.

The extremely activating design and the playful circles, stripes and letters  encourage creative play.

Desi­gned for diffe­rent types of crea­tive games, the dynamic graphics created by Danish design studio Rama Studio gives life to the concrete space. Sket­ched with a simple white line, the circles, stripes, letters, and smileys all serve as trai­ning elements, wayfin­ding, and vibrant deco­ra­tions.

The graphics cover the diffe­rent pave­ments and facades ending in three-dimen­sional shapes to form the fitness bars and rails and the plateau land­scape.

The new urban space is a part of the new ‘Plusbus’ program in Aalborg Muni­ci­pa­lity, a new, envi­ron­men­tally friendly bus connec­tion that creates greater cohe­rence between trans­port and urban deve­lo­p­ment. A part of the assign­ment was to empha­size Gigan­tium as a ‘PlusBus’ stop desti­na­tion by crea­ting an exci­ting stop that invites passen­gers to the sports center.

Plusbus is a BRT – Bus Rapid Transit – which is a high-class bus connec­tion.

Modau Circuit

The “Modau Circuit” in Darmstadt

In the name of moving

The “Bewegte Modaupromenade” initiative has set itself the goal of revitalising Darmstadt-Eberstadt. The Modau Circuit is the most important project.

The course includes eleven stations, which are very well integrated with each other and correspond to scientifically proven training procedures.

The “Modau Circuit” was opened in autumn 2020. The move­ment course is a result of the “Bewegte Modau­pro­me­nade” initia­tive, which has set itself the goal of revi­ta­li­sing a 2.6 km-long green strip in the heart of Darm­stadt-Eber­stadt.

The course includes eleven stations, which are very well inte­grated with each other and corre­spond to scien­ti­fi­cally proven trai­ning proce­dures.

Boards with instruc­tions explain the exer­cises and ensure that the equip­ment is used correctly – regard­less of age, size or level of athletic ability. The move­ment course was desi­gned to be inclu­sive, so that people with disa­bi­li­ties can also use the devices.

The devices come from playfit.

The centre of the movement is the Modau Circuit – and it’s aimed at all age groups. The course was built in just one month.

Behind the Modau Circuit and the “Bewegte Modau­pro­me­nade” initia­tive are committed and persis­tent citi­zens of Eber­stadt, who not only laun­ched the entire project, but also raised half the required funds.

The project was imple­mented by Darm­stätter Sport­stätten GmbH. The cost of the project was 90,000 euros.

Eber­stadt is a picturesque, village-like district in the very south of Darm­stadt. The Modau­pro­me­nade runs through the town centre from Blumen­straße in the north to the Kao company in the south.

The “Bewegte Modau­pro­me­nade” initia­tive is aimed at conti­nuously deve­lo­ping this area and crea­ting places for inter­ge­ne­ra­tional inter­ac­tion, move­ment and socia­li­sa­tion in the fresh air.

For children and young people, the master plan envi­sages the crea­tion or reno­va­tion and expan­sion of play­grounds and foot­ball fields. For the deve­lo­p­ment of vege­ta­tion and wild­life, flowe­ring strips on the shore, landing rocks for birds and an arti­fi­ci­ally created island (Modauinsel) are planned; for sustaina­bi­lity, the plan includes a wind gene­rator, display panels, solar panels and a biogas plant.

The centre of move­ment is the Modau Circuit in the back hall – and it’s aimed at all age groups. The course was built in just one month.

The Modau Circuit was opened in October 2020, i.e. at the height of the Covid pandemic. Since this kind of system makes it easy to stay soci­ally distanced, the course was a great success from the very begin­ning.

The course also repres­ents an enormous added value for clubs. For example, TG 07 Eber­stadt, a versa­tile club in the field of move­ment and ball sports, regu­larly orga­nises courses and intro­duc­tory guides by speci­ally trained coaches.

The devices from playfit offer a gentle and holistic training program in the open air. And: This is where socialisation and togetherness are created — and this is entirely in the spirit of the movement.

The Modau Circuit consists of eleven stations: balan­cing track, ellip­tical trainer, recum­bent exer­cise bike, rowing machine, upper body trainer-pulling, upper body trainer-pushing, back trainer, shoulder trainer, abdo­minal trainer, arm pull-push-up trainer and a calis­the­nics system.

Playfit’s devices ensure a balanced mix of balance exer­cises, endu­rance and strength trai­ning, for virtually all the muscle groups of the human body.

Calis­the­nics, for example, is about exer­cises with your own weight. Regard­less of whether the goal is strength buil­ding or incre­asing indi­vi­dual fitness: calis­the­nics promotes mobi­lity, body control and the fun of move­ment.

The calis­the­nics workout can be performed at any age, weight class and perfor­mance level. And calis­the­nics offers abso­lute freedom in indi­vi­dual trai­ning. This is espe­ci­ally appe­aling to young people, so the calis­the­nics station has become a social meeting place.

The playfit fitness equip­ment is made of stain­less steel and offers prac­ti­cally unli­mited possi­bi­li­ties of use. It is easy and simple to use and can also be used in ever­yday or office clot­hing without any problems.

The devices offer a gentle and holi­stic trai­ning program in the open air. Circu­la­tion, mobi­lity and coor­di­na­tion can be trained and streng­thened in an amazingly simple and playful way in the Modau Circuit.

And: This is where socia­li­sa­tion and toge­ther­ness come from — and this is enti­rely in the spirit of the move­ment.

We did this.

Frintrop Sports and Citizens’ Park

Frintrop Sports and Citizens’ Park

Let’s go!

Frintrop Sports and Citizens’ Park  is a meeting place for all generations, abilities and interests. 

The Frintrop Sports and Citizens’ Park promotes integration and creates space for socialising and participation.

The Frin­trop Sport and Citi­zens’ Park opened in Essen in October 2022. This forward-looking project is the result of the trans­for­ma­tion of a foot­ball ground into a versa­tile sports and leisure faci­lity of social and societal importance.

The faci­lity includes an outdoor hall with an arti­fi­cial grass playing field, a basket­ball court with a plastic surface, play, clim­bing and trend sports areas as well as open spaces for events and cele­bra­tions of all kinds.

With its faci­li­ties, the Frin­trop Sports and Citi­zens’ Park promotes inte­gra­tion and creates space for people to come toge­ther and parti­ci­pate.

When this former foot­ball ground was converted into a multi­func­tional sports and leisure faci­lity, high immis­sion control requi­re­ments had to be taken into account.

The McArena outdoor hall is certainly the most versatile offer in the Frintrop Sports and Citizens’ Park.

The park is run by the resi­dent SC Frin­trop 05/21, which was based on two clay sports grounds here three years ago. With the conver­sion of the first large sports ground into an arti­fi­cial turf pitch in the summer of 2020, the foot­ball future of the committed club was ensured with the motto “Inclu­sion. Inte­gra­tion. Coope­ra­tion. Future.”

The Frin­trop Sports and Citi­zens’ Park has now been built on the area of the second large sports ground – with barrier-free move­ment possi­bi­li­ties, adven­ture paths, lying areas, benches and various sports faci­li­ties.

The McArena outdoor hall is certainly the most versa­tile offer in the Frin­trop Sports and Citi­zens’ Park. Thanks to its canopy, the hall can be used all year round, and in the best condi­tions: in winter there is no snow on the playing field, in summer the athletes are in the shade, and on rainy days in the dry.

The technical equipment of the open-air hall is remarkable: digital scoreboard with time and goal counter, audio system controllable via Bluetooth and LED floodlight system.

The outdoor hall has an arti­fi­cial turf surface, which is also suitable for wheel­chair users. The revol­ving boards, the ball catching nets and the roof make the game fast and provide speed, commu­nity and a sense of achie­ve­ment.

This is also ensured by the versa­tile tech­nical equip­ment, which includes a perma­nently installed device measu­ring the speed of the shots on goal.

An indi­vi­du­ally controll­able digital score­board and an audio system can be controlled via Blue­tooth from any mobile phone for any form of acou­stic accom­p­animent – from an announce­ment that a car is incor­rectly parked to the beat for the Zumba course.

The flood­light system consists of energy-saving LED lights under the hall roof. This means that the hall can even be used in the dark.

Of course, the footballers of SC Frintrop are happy about the new hall. However, its versatility also makes it suitable for many other activities.

Another special feature of the hall is its adap­ta­bi­lity to the requi­re­ments of sound insu­la­tion. In Essen, two walls were closed for this reason. For people with visual impairm­ents, this design method can even be a benefit, because the sound feed­back improves their orien­ta­tion.

Of course, the foot­bal­lers of SC Frin­trop are also happy about the new hall. However, its versa­ti­lity also makes it suitable for many other acti­vi­ties – open sports and exer­cise offers, senior sports and gymnastics, girls’ dance lessons, taiji and qigong have been taking place since before the opening.

There will be groups and supervised training offers for practically all devices and playing fields, which will promote the success of the project.

Another high­light is the basket­ball arena. It’s not only acces­sible to wheel­chair users, but it’s also suitable for them thanks to the non-slip plastic cove­ring.

In this area of the Frin­trop Sports and Citi­zens’ Park , immis­sion control also played a major role, because the basket­ball arena is also located on a property boun­dary. Here, too, the plan­ners from Seeger Land­schafts­ar­chi­tektur have made a virtue out of neces­sity: the required sound­pro­ofing walls, which are more than five metres high, were desi­gned as gabions and are being expanded into a gene­rous clim­bing wall.

The boules court will certainly attract many older people. In addi­tion, there is a calis­the­nics complex, a tram­po­line field, wave running and parcours. The swing area has a net swing and equip­ment suitable for wheel­chair users, which promotes the inter­ac­tion of children with and without rest­ric­tions.

A beach volley­ball court and a func­tion buil­ding are still under cons­truc­tion. Both will be completed this year.

There will be groups and super­vised trai­ning offers for prac­ti­cally all devices and playing fields, which will promote the success of the project.

Frintrop Sports and Citizens’ Park  is a meeting place for all generations, abilities and interests. 

So the Frin­trop Sports and Citi­zens’ Park  is a meeting place for all gene­ra­tions, abili­ties and inte­rests. Thanks to the enormous commit­ment of the asso­cia­tion in the field of inclu­sion and the inte­gra­tion of refu­gees, an entire district and its social and societal deve­lo­p­ment can benefit here.

This is probably one of the main reasons why the Ruhr Confe­rence (which is an initia­tive of the NRW state govern­ment to streng­then the Ruhr area) is putting €1,500,000 into the “Frin­trop Sports and Citi­zens’ Park” project. The total cost is €2,000,000.

The park is open every day from 9 am to 9 pm and is freely acces­sible. Let’s go there!

Nepal Skatepark

Nepal Skatepark

Getting up over and over again!

A skate park as an engine of development for social infrastructures.

The Nepal Skatepark empowers the young people who use it and, at the same time, fulfils a function as a focal point for the neighbourhood.

The Nepal Skate­park was opened in spring 2022 and is an important part of the deve­lo­p­ment of social infra­struc­tures in the country. The project was initiated and financed by Skate-Aid. The maier land­schafts­ar­chi­tektur office in Cologne desi­gned and built the complex.

The most important outcome of this colla­bo­ra­tion is the sustainable part­ner­ships that are formed on the ground with those who not only install the project but also operate it on a long-term basis. In this instance, it’s the orga­ni­sa­tion “Yuwa for Change”.

The Nepal Skate­park empowers young people through its on-site educa­tional skate­board work­shops. At the same time, the complex func­tions as a kind of focal point for the neigh­bour­hood.

The Nepal Skatepark is part of a sports and educational programme designed to rebuild the country.

Nepal is located in southern Asia, between the People’s Repu­blic of China and India. The country had deve­loped and moder­nised rapidly over a period of 20 years, until a devas­ta­ting earth­quake destroyed large parts of the country in 2015.

The Nepal Skate­park is part of a sports and educa­tional programme desi­gned to rebuild the country.

The park is located on the outskirts of the city of Butwal (138,000 inha­bi­tants), at the foot of the Hima­layas, about 240 km west of the capital Kath­mandu.

The concept fulfils more functions than a skate park alone can do and enables the sustainable operation of the facility.

The design of the skate park was based on the abstract image of two crossed skate­boards, which is the logo of Skate-Aid. This cross forms the basic layout of the complex and subdi­vides the 400 m² park.

The central area is the heart of the faci­lity. The skate­park is located here. The selected skate­boar­ding elements repre­sent a straight­for­ward intro­duc­tion for local young people, but also provide variety for advanced skaters – espe­ci­ally benches, curbs and handrails. The outer ends have been desi­gned as ramps which serve to increase momentum and ensure a better flow.

The adja­cent areas are each 120 m² in size. Here they consist of a street­ball surface and a basin-shaped skate­boar­ding feature known as a bowl. However, they can also be flexibly adapted, for example as multi­func­tional sports and event areas, further skate­boar­ding areas, play­grounds or for the cons­truc­tion of a youth centre.

The concept fulfils more func­tions than a skate park alone can do and enables the long-term, flexible and sustainable opera­tion of the faci­lity.

The concept can be reconstructed in a modular way at other locations.

The concept of the Nepal Skate­park can be scaled and repro­duced in a modular way at other loca­tions. This is parti­cu­larly useful when local condi­tions are diffi­cult and when there is a low budget. The zoning of the faci­lity also means that cons­truc­tion can take place in various, inde­pen­dent phases.

Due to its elon­gated shape, the middle area is ideally suited for deve­lo­ping diffe­rent and exci­ting skate parks for future projects.

The clear, simple shapes make it possible to build a roof over certain areas at a later date, so that these can be used even in bad weather.

Falling down and getting up again — that’s what it’s all about. In Nepal and everywhere else in the world.

maier land­schafts­ar­chi­tektur and Skate-Aid have been working toge­ther for more than a decade to improve the pros­pects of children and young people in diffi­cult situa­tions and envi­ron­ments – with the help of social and sporting faci­li­ties in the form of skate parks. Earlier examples are the Beth­lehem Skate­park, Janwaar Castle and the Damascus Skate Park .

Common to all these projects is their sustainable opera­tion by local partner orga­ni­sa­tions. What good is the most beau­tiful faci­lity if no one takes care of it? In this way, faci­li­ties such as the Nepal Skate­park give children and young people easy access to perma­nent oppor­tu­ni­ties to develop into strong perso­na­li­ties by being part of a commu­nity in a posi­tive envi­ron­ment.

Falling down and getting up again – that’s what it’s all about. Lear­ning to do so is perhaps the grea­test benefit that sport and archi­tec­ture can provide.

Große Bürgerbusch

The Große Bürgerbusch in Oldenburg

Exercise trails in 2022

Exercise trails are back on the map. The city of Oldenburg has modernised and improved the aesthetics of its combined running tracks and fitness facilities.

The Große Bürgerbusch exercise trail combines running with exercises promoting strength and coordination.

Exer­cise trails are back on the map. The city of Olden­burg has moder­nised and improved the aesthe­tics of its combined running tracks and fitness faci­li­ties.

Der Große Bürger­busch is a popular recrea­tional ground cove­ring an area of over 20 hectares, situated in the north of the city. Its attrac­tions include an illu­mi­nated running track lined with joint-friendly wood chip­pings and fitted with exer­cise equip­ment at nine stations.

This keep-fit trail was fitted with exer­cise equip­ment in late 2021.

The exer­cise trail combines running with exer­cises promo­ting strength and coor­di­na­tion. During the keep-fit move­ment in the 1970s, thou­sands of these exer­cise faci­li­ties combi­ning circuit tracks with fitness stations appeared all over Germany. The purpose of the exer­cise was not compe­ti­tive, but to promote people’s health in an affluent society crippled by obesity and cardio­vas­cular disease.

The old wooden equipment was rather outdated, being neither functional nor creatively designed in view of modern expectations.

The keep-fit move­ment was a fore­funner to the current fitness boom. However, with the advent of new sport trends, both the move­ment itself and the concept of exer­cise trails were soon forgotten. The local autho­ri­ties simply didn’t have the funds to main­tain the faci­li­ties.

Although this has been chan­ging since the revival of the keep-fit move­ment through media-effec­tive campaigns lead by the DOSB, some circuit tracks, and espe­ci­ally their asso­ciated exer­cise equip­ment, are still in need of adjus­t­ment to the needs of today’s athletes and walkers.

Green spaces are also used for sport in Olden­burg. Der Große Bürger­busch with its cross-country running track and new fitness stations is an exer­cise hotspot.

The track is one kilo­metre long and comprises an appro­xi­m­ately 10 cm thick surface made from wood chip­pings and shavings over­lying a drai­nage layer of sand and gravel. The soft surface effec­tively cushions runners’ foot­fall, easing pres­sure on their joints.

The old wooden equip­ment was rather outdated, being neither func­tional nor crea­tively desi­gned in view of modern expec­ta­tions. It had also partly been taken down because of safety defects. It was replaced by stain­less steel equip­ment.

The Große Bürgerbusch meets all the requirements for a modern exercise trail.

The new exer­cise trail in the Großen Bürger­busch was completed in late 2021. In just two months of buil­ding work, new fitness equip­ment was fitted at nine stations.

The equip­ment is made by Playfit and has already proved its worth in other parts of Olden­burg in a similar setting.

The stations are desi­gned to appeal to a large target group. They are not just for passing joggers, but will also appeal to walkers from all age groups.

The Große Bürger­busch has a step and jump trainer, an arm pull and press-up trainer, sit-up trainer and callis­the­nics faci­lity There are noti­ce­boards explai­ning how to use each appa­ratus. Athletes can view further exer­cise instruc­tions by scan­ning the QR code atta­ched on the equip­ment.
Playfit equip­ment satis­fies all requi­re­ments in accordance with the DIN EN 16630:2015 safety norm for site-depen­dent outdoor fitness equip­ment.

The Große Bürger­busch meets all the requi­re­ments for a modern exer­cise trail.

We did this.

Senda di Dragun

Senda dil Dragun in Graubünden

At eye level

The “Senda dil Dragun” is the longest tree-top walk in the world. It combines nature and state-of-the-art technology, in spectacular fashion.

“Senda dil Dragun” in Laax creates a special experience of nature and sensitizes visitors to the forest and its inhabitants on the path created.

Grau­bünden is home to one of the longest treetop trails in the world. With a length of 1.56 kilo­me­tres and a height of 28 metres, the “Senda dil Dragun” is a unique natural expe­ri­ence. A long foot­bridge leads through the middle of the forest in Laax. Here visi­tors can expe­ri­ence the spruces, firs and pines of the Laax forest from an unusual perspec­tive at a height of 2 to 28 metres.

Some­times at eye level with the tops of the moun­tain forest and in other places close above the forest floor where young trees and ferns grow.

The “Senda dil Dragun” (Dragon Path) has a Rhaeto-Romanic name and its dimen­sions make it one of the longest treetop paths in the world. Some other trails in the world are longer, but they touch the ground. Not like the path in Laax. Supported on stilts, the Senda dil Dragun floats conti­nuously above the forest floor.

As a filigree structure, Webnet offers great tensioning force and sufficient flexibility.

The project in Laax creates a special expe­ri­ence of nature and sensi­tizes visi­tors to the forest and its inha­bi­tants on the path created. Hidden between the trees, the dragon path winds its way through the land­scape along as natural a line as possible. In doing so, the path shows conside­ra­tion for the tree popu­la­tion. Visible from afar are the two ascent towers in Laax Murschetg and Laax Dorf. The towers are 37 and 27 metres high.

For the railings, towers and barrier fences of the tree top walk, the plan­ners of the project were looking for a trans­pa­rent, light­weight and high-quality element as infill and fall protec­tion.

The stain­less steel mesh Webnet fulfils exactly these requi­re­ments. As a filigree struc­ture, Webnet offers great tensio­ning force and suffi­cient flexi­bi­lity. The net is weather­proof through all seasons, extre­mely hard-wearing and requires virtually no main­ten­ance. An ideal solu­tion for the cons­truc­tion of a forest path.

A total of around 3,200 square meters of Webnet were installed. The longest individual Webnet element is around 60 meters long.

Jakob Rope Systems deli­vered the indi­vi­dual nets to Laax, cut to size. A total of around 3,200 square meters of Webnet were installed there. The longest indi­vi­dual Webnet element is around 60 meters long. All Webnet elements are inte­grated into round tube frame cons­truc­tions. The treetop path is also acces­sible to visi­tors in winter. In order not to damage the Webnet elements during snow clea­ring work, protec­tive skir­ting boards were installed along the railings.

For the inte­gra­tion of the Webnet elements into the overall cons­truc­tion project, Jakob Rope Systems worked toge­ther with the archi­tects from Hofmann & Durisch (Flims Dorf). The metal cons­truc­tion work was carried out by the company Ragettli Metallbau AG (Flims Dorf).

Lulu Mall Abu Sidra

Lulu Mall Abu Sidra

Shop & Jog

NEW AND ATTRACTIVE SHOPPING DESTINATION IN QATAR. ONE OF THE ATTRACTIONS IS THE OUTDOOR RUNNING TRACK.

CITY JOGGING IS quite hip – FOR EXAMPLE AROUND LULU MALL IN ABU SIDRA, FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE POLYCOMP JOGGING TRACK.

The Lulu Mall in Abu Sidra is a new and attrac­tive shop­ping desti­na­tion in Qatar. The mix of shop­ping and leisure acti­vi­ties as well as their design (which is based on the dunes which are typical of the region) are striking and promi­sing of success.

Due to this mixed use, the Lulu Mall in Abu Sidra with its adjoi­ning park toge­ther with sports and leisure faci­li­ties will quickly become a popular meeting place. One of the reasons for this is the Poly­comp Jogging Track from Melos.

Running is one of the most popular and wide­spread sports in the world. You can run almost anywhere because running paths can be found both in the city and in the country.

City jogging and sight running are very popular. It is a combi­na­tion of running and sight­seeing, where you can discover our cities from comple­tely diffe­rent perspec­tives. For example, around the Lulu Mall in Abu Sidra, for example, on the Poly­comp Jogging Track.

ON THE 850 M² AREA, NOT ONLY ACTIVE SPORTS PEOPLE, BUT ALSO THE MALL VISITORS WILL FIND AN ATTRACTIVE AND HEALTHY OPPORTUNITY TO EXERCISE UNDER THE OPEN SKY.

The newly desi­gned jogging track has been expan­ding the mall’s provi­sions for joggers and pede­strians since July 2020. On the 850 m² area, not only active sports people but also mall visi­tors will find an attrac­tive and healthy oppor­tu­nity to exer­cise in the open air after shop­ping.

The Poly­comp Jogging Track System from Melos was installed for the outdoor running track. It is, espe­ci­ally in compa­rison to the usual asphalt side­walks, extre­mely elastic and easy on the joints. 

The Poly­comp Jogging Track is charac­te­rised as a water­proof and multi-layered surface. It consists of a base layer and a cast top layer with a grainy, rough surface formed by the sprink­ling  of granu­late. The struc­tured surface gives the Poly­comp Jogging Track its anti-slip proper­ties. The system impresses both amateur and profes­sional sports people with its good sport-func­tional proper­ties. 

The cons­truc­tion:

Base coating
The base coating serves as a bonding bridge between the Poly­comp Jogging Track and the exis­ting substrate (concrete/asphalt).

Elastic layer
It consists of PUR-bound EPDM granules and enables a comfor­table running expe­ri­ence.

Pore closure
The pore closure ensures that the system is imper­meable to water.

Coating
Consists of PUR-bound EPDM granules and is available in diffe­rent colors.

THE SUCCESS OF THE LULU MALL IN ABU SIDRA IS ALSO BASED ON THE INTERLOCKING OF THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR THE POLYCOMP JOGGING TRACK IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN THIS

The  Poly­comp  Jogging Track is installed seam­lessly on site and can be installed  directly  on  exis­ting asphalt or concrete 

All compon­ents of the Poly­comp Jogging Track System have been exten­si­vely tested for their weather resis­tance and capti­vate as a result of years of constant quality –  of course also outdoors.

The plan­ners did not just want to create a shop­ping centre but rather a commu­ni­ca­tive and inter­ac­tive complex. With more than 200 shops, varied enter­tain­ment programs and health and well­ness centers, the Lulu Mall in Abu Sidra is set to become very popular very quickly.

This is also due to the inter­lin­king of the inte­rior and exte­rior. The Poly­comp Jogging Track from Melos is an important part of this.

We did this.
