Typology Recreation, Culture, Sport Center
Location Klagenfurt, Austria
Institution Urban Planing
The scope of the design was a new sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for the new rowing sports center in Klagenfurt. The concept is based on two main pillars. Firstly, the new structure should be applied in a way that it hardly removes any trees in the park. Secondly, the sports center was thought to be a part of the park´s identity. Therefore, the structure`s green roof is accessible for pedestrians and will be also used as viewing platform. The location of the park in the proximity of the Klagenfurt University, Lend Canal and Lake Woerthersee strengthens the potential of a new kind of usage of the park with its new assets. The high potential of the location made it possible to develop the concept in a way that invites not only athletes but also city residents.
