Idrottsförvaltningen, Stockholms stad
Wednesday

Is there a conflict between general activities and conventional sports in community facilities?

When we are planning for a facility for physical activity, is that a sports facility, or is it something else that we need? Can a sports facility work as a community facility for daily health, wellbeing, and activity, or is that a utopian vision? Who are we building for, and why are we building that facility? Mike Lawless will try to provide an insight into how an architect can help us think differently about a facility for general activity as well as traditional sports. He gives us examples of where the client has started to think differently and what results it can produce for the community.

With Mike Lawless, Director LA Architects.
