The Seminar

Pump tracks are abso­lutely on the rise. Ther­e­fore, they are no longer built from earth or clay, but using perma­nent asphalt cons­truc­tion. This turns a simple cycle track into a multi­func­tional sports complex for a wide variety of user groups such as MTB riders, BMX riders, skate­boar­ders, long­boar­ders, inline skaters, roller skaters and of course wheel­chair users.

This momen­tous deve­lo­p­ment raises ques­tions – the seminar answers them. Four lectures deal with the plan­ning requi­re­ments, and the safety and social importance of these faci­li­ties. For these topics there are many instruc­tive as well as spec­ta­cular examples in already realised projects. We are very happy that Ralf Maier will present two of these topics.

Orga­niser of the seminar is the Asso­cia­tion of German Land­scape Archi­tects (bdla), the Nord­rhein-West­falen state group. The event is reco­g­nised with two hours of trai­ning for land­scape archi­tects and archi­tects from the NW work group. The complete programme of the seminar and the regis­tra­tion form can be found here.

The bdla day

For the third time, the so-called bdla day will take place on the FSB and in the context of the planner FORUM. In Rhine­land one speaks already about it being a tradi­tion.

“Pump tracks – The new roller sports faci­li­ties” is part of the bdla day. The seminar is aimed at plan­ners, buil­ders and sports clubs. It provides basics and decision support for the plan­ning and imple­men­ta­tion of pump tracks using asphalt cons­truc­tion.
