You can tell that this is a special issue of “sb” if only from the fact that it’s much thicker than usual – it contains the 31 prize-winning projects of the IOC/IPC/IAKS competitions. The jury awarded three Gold, five Silver and twelve Bronze medals and three Special Prizes in the IOC/IAKS Award, the “Oscar” for the sports facility sector introduced in 1987. These are accompanied by five IPC/IAKS Distinctions for accessible sports facilities and three IOC/ IPC/IAKS Architecture and Design Awards for Students and Young Professionals for innovative approaches to sports and leisure facilities.
The large-scale facilities for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London and the European Football Championship in Poland are also of course represented, not to mention smaller but no lesser masterpieces for sport for all, e.g. in Tanzania, Japan, Iran and Denmark.
We’d like to thank all 125 participants for their ideas, enthusiasm and efforts; the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee for their support; and the jury for the results of three days of hard work on our premises in Cologne. The outcome, we think, is a wonderful overview of current sports and leisure buildings worldwide, the likes of which you will find nowhere else.
Congratulations to the winners!
Liebe Mitglieder der IAKS, liebe Leser,
Dass diese Ausgabe unserer „sb“ eine besondere ist, merken Sie schon daran, dass sie wesentlich dicker ist als sonst –schließlich präsentieren wir Ihnen die 31 Preisträger der IOC/IPC/ IAKS Wettbewerbe. Die Jury vergab dreimal Gold, fünfmal Silber, zwölfmal Bronze und drei Sonderpreise beim IOC/IAKS Award, dem seit 1987 ausgelobten „Oskar“ der Sportstättenbranche, dazu fünf IPC/IAKS Auszeichnungen für barrierefreie Sportanlagen und dreimal den „IOC/IPC/IAKS Architecture and Design Award for Students and Young Professionals“, bei dem es um innovative Entwürfe und Konzepte für Sport- und Freizeitanlagen geht.
Natürlich sind die großen Anlagen für die Olympischen und Paralympischen Spiele in London oder die Fußball-Europameisterschaft in Polen vertreten, genau so jedoch kleine(re) Meisterwerke für den Breitensport z.B. aus Tansania, Japan, dem Iran oder Dänemark.
Wir danken allen 125 Teilnehmern für ihre Ideen, ihren Einsatz und ihren Aufwand, dem Internationalen Olympischen Komitee und dem Internationalen Paralympischen Komitee für die Unterstützung und der Jury für die Ergebnisse von drei Tagen harter Arbeit bei uns in Köln. Das Ergebnis ist ein –wie wir finden – wunderbarer Überblick über aktuelle Sport- und Freizeitbauten weltweit, wie Sie ihn nirgendwo anders finden werden.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch den Gewinnern!
Estimados socios de la IAKS, estimados lectores:
Que con esta “sb” se trata de una edición especial es algo que puede percibirse ya por el volumen de la revista, bastante más gruesa de lo que suele ser normalmente. A fin de cuentas, estamos presentando a los 31 ganadores de los concursos COI/CPI/IAKS
El Jurado concedió tres medallas de oro, cinco de plata, doce de bronce y tres premios especiales en el COI/CPI/IAKS Award, el “Óscar” en el ámbito de las instalaciones deportivas. Además, cinco distinciones CPI/IAKS para instalaciones deportivas sin barreras arquitectónicas y tres veces el premio en la categoría “IOC/IPC/IAKS Architecture and Design Award for Students and Young Professionals”, en la que se destaca la innovación en los proyectos de instalaciones deportivas y recreativas.
Naturalmente también figuran las grandes instalaciones para los Juegos Olímpicos y Paralímpicos de Londres y el Campeonato Europeo de Fútbol de Polonia, pero igualmente tienen su lugar diversas obras maestras de menor tamaño destinadas al deporte de masas, de Tanzania, Japón, Irán o Dinamarca, por ejemplo.
Queremos agradecer a los 125 participantes sus ideas, su compromiso y su esfuerzo. Asimismo, al Comité Olímpico Internacional y al Comité Paralímpico Internacional su apoyo y, al Jurado, los resultados de tres días de duro trabajo en Colonia. El resultado, a nuestros ojos, es una maravillosa visión general de las instalaciones deportivas y recreativas actuales a nivel mundial, que solo aquí encontrarán con esta presentación.
¡Felicitamos a los ganadores!

In 2011 the Universiade, one of the largest sports events in the world was held in Shenzhen, China. The stadium (actually in the Bao’an district) was designed as an athletics stadium holding 40,000 spectators. However, during the 2011 Universiade, it was used for football matches.
The extensive bamboo forests of southern China were the inspiration for the design. The bamboo look serves two purposes. It reflects the character of the region, and thus creates identity. And it serves as a structural concept for both the load-bearing frame of the stadium stands and the supports for the widespan roof structure. The outermost part of the stadium unites the façade, structure and overarching architectural theme in a single feature. The natural look of the bamboo forest, together with the interplay of light and shadow between the trunks, is interpreted structurally with rows of slender steel supports, as outsize, abstract versions of the bamboo shape.
The stadium is located in the immediate vicinity of a sports arena and swimming pool, which have already established an east-west axis. The stadium and the attached warm-up area fall in with this existing urban axis. The choice of a pure circle for the geometry of the stadium was a decision not to introduce any other geographical orientation into the urban-planning situation, and to emphasize the central character of the sports venue. Appropriately for the uses of the building, the stadium stands on a grassed plinth, which incorporates on the inside the lower tiers of seating and internal functional areas.

Bao‘An Stadium
Shenzhen, China
The geometry of the spectator seats involves a modulation from the oval of the athletics track into a perfect circle. The undulating upper tier of the stands is the result of this modulation, creating a large number of seats on the long sides of the pitch and fewer seats on the short sides. The curved line of the upper edge of the stands is repeated by the overall shape of the stadium.
Visitors to a sports event access the stadium via broad flights of steps that lead up to the podium on four sides. The flat podium allows free circulation around the whole stadium and easy access to the seats from any side. Visitors pass through the forest of steel supports into the first circulating area of the stadium, and then go either up the steps to the upper tier or straight on to the top of the lower tier. The image of a bamboo forest is created by the double row of steel supports, which come across as irregularly spaced and angled as in a real forest. Every other support in the inner row is connected with the concrete structure of the undulating upper tier, thus carrying the vertical loads of the spectator seating.
The jury was deeply impressed: “The bamboo in South China was the inspiration for the design. It serves as a structural concept for both the load-bearing frame of the stadium stands and supports the structure. The structural and architectural theme is a single feature –bamboo. The facility is also effectively served with public transport. The access of the stadium is separate for each category. Wheelchair users are provided with easy and comfortable viewing positions with superior visibility.”
The Olympic stadium and the masterplan as a whole have taken a new, sustainable approach to temporary architecture by using only the materials, structure and operational systems needed for the event, and then transforming it for a long-term future use.
The embodied energy was reduced by minimising physical weight, shortening fabrication time and details which allowed for rapid erection and later dismantling. The design team adopted key sustainability criteria to reduce, reuse and recycle materials in order to create a compact, flexible and lightweight design that allowed for a cost-effective life cycle compared to similar building of this type and scale.
All upper-tier terracing can be removed, leaving a series of columns on podium level that will take a roof structure appropriate for a 25,000 capacity legacy athletic stadium. For the legacy transformation and use, the method in which the roof and upper tiers are planned to be dismantled is the direct opposite sequence in which they were erected.
The jury was impressed: “The use of materials, structure and operational systems needed for the event to be transformed for a long-term future was reduced from the start. The aim of the design was to reduce the use of steel and concrete and make the stadium the lightest one in the modern era. The concrete was mixed at a batching plant on site and thus reduced the impact on the environment. The same applies to the other materials delivered in bulk by rail rather than by road through London, thus preventing traffic congestion and pollution. The seating on the upper tiers tenacing can be removed for post-games use, reducing the capacity to 25.000.“

The PGE Arena in Gdansk was built for the 2012 European Football Championships in Poland. The stadium is oriented towards two local typologies. Its shape and colour emulate the locally found amber. The architecture seems smoothed and rounded from water, sand and wind. A roof made of polycarbonate lends transparency, lightness and amber luminosity to the façade.
The second aspect reflects the local shipbuilding industry as an important cultural site for modern Poland as well as the Solidarnosc movement. Consequently, the filigree supporting structure of the arena is reminiscent of a ship‘s hull with its ribs and planking. The result is a multi-purpose arena fully conforming to UEFA criteria, which not only for the duration of the EURO 2012 provided a unique sports facility by the Baltic Sea, but which, thanks to its many features and accessibility, will establish itself in the long term as an ideal location for concerts and other events as well as for the local football team Lechia Gdansk.
The jury liked “approach of this international-standard football stadium making use of local colours. The reference to amber from the nearby Baltic Sea is unparalleled on this huge scale. The honey-coloured light creates a unique atmosphere in this large stadium and gives it a friendly identity. This football stadium also meets the best modern standards in terms of ease of access and egress for spectators to and from every level. The PGE Arena is exemplary in particular with regard to its provision for visually impaired spectators. They are offered live commentary to enhance the match day experience. A tactile model of the stadium for information and orientation and a ‘touch tour‘ of the stadium is also available.”

Gdansk, Poland
Address
In 2007 an international architectural competition was held for a new Polish national stadium in Warsaw to host the UEFA European Football Championships in 2012.. The scheme submitted by gmp in association with J.S.K. Architekci of Warsaw and schlaich bergermann und partner of Stuttgart was the preferred option.
The new structure is located over the solid rampart of the Dziesi ciolecia national stadium, which was constructed in 1955 from rubble from the wartime Warsaw Uprisings. The revitalization of this area as a sports park represents a milestone not only for the city of Warsaw but also for the whole country in terms of national identity.
A condition imposed by the city was that the existing rubble-built slopes should be built over with as few interventions as possible. The two lower levels of the new structure were therefore inserted into the topography without changing the top level of the slopes or the level of the existing pitch.
The duality of a solid historic stone base and the new structure made of steel, glass and PTFE membrane externally visible only above rampart level gives the design an unmistakable character. The roof truss system adds a number of significant features to the familiar spoked wheel principle. Also unmistakable as a feature visible from a distance is the façade, made up of anodized expanded metal in the Polish national colors of red and white.
The jury was “particulary appreciative not only in terms of the technical solution, but also in terms of the image that a national stadium must communicate for the future. The lightness and dynamics of the stadium’s architecture are the result of successful synthesis of materials and contemporary structural design.”

When BIG, Topotek1 and Superflex were invited to propose a project for a kilometre of urban space wedging through outer Nørrebro in Copenhagen, in the tracks of the former rail yards, they realised that they had to do more than just urban design. The neighbourhood is the most ethnically diverse area in all of Denmark and is also the most socially challenged community containing the closest thing to a ghetto in Copenhagen, Mjølnerparken. This project had to become a vehicle for integration, rather than an aesthetic exercise in Danish design.
The project possesses all that typically makes up a modern park with trails for pedestrians and cyclists and outdoor recreation spaces. The conceptual starting point is a division of Superkilen into three zones and colours – the Red Square, the Black Market and the Green Park. The project is intended to celebrate the area’s multi-cultural heritage and unite everybody in one global neighbourhood. The park contains over one hundred different elements of street furniture, play equipment, sculpture and lighting from the 62 home countries of the local inhabitants.
The park includes a range of recreational offers such as fitness equipment from Muscle Beach LA, a high swing from Kabul, ping pong tables from Spain, a boxing ring from Thailand, a slide from Chernobyl, swings from Iraq and a climbing frame from India.
Sociologist Zygmund Bauman once said that “sport is one of the few institutions in society where people can still agree on the rules”. No matter where you are from, what you believe and which language you speak, it is always possible to play football together. As an extension of the sports

and cultural activities at the Nørrebrohall, the Red Square is conceived as an urban extension of the internal life of the hall. A range of recreational offers and the large central square provide local residents an opportunity to meet each other through physical activity and games. A large area on the square is covered by a multifunctional rubber surface to enable ball-games, markets, parades, and skating rinks in winter.
The Black Market with its chess tables and benches invites reflective relaxation. At weekends the area can be turned into a bazaar for local traders and hawkers.
Finally, the Green Park is designed as a landscape with hills, a playground and picnic spots for parties and family gettogethers. A number of sports facilities are moved to the Green Park, including the existing hockey field with an integrated basketball court as it will create a natural gathering spot for local young people from Mjolnerpark and the adjacent school.
The jury loved this project: “Superskilen is a park for all ages, an outdoor space to activate people, a kilometer of urban space, a project in the most ethnically diverse area in all of Denmark. The jury awards Superskilen a gold medal for its new and outstanding urban design which emphasizes on activating and integrating people. ’The project is intended to celebrate the multi-cultural heritage of the area and to unite everybody in one global neighborhood’ the proposal points out. For the jury this ’celebration ’ is comprehensible in the powerful, creative and courageous design which is exemplary not to be copied but to inspire and encourage urban design worldwide.“
The football club Herning Fremad had the vision to create an innovative football scheme on a typical football training facility with 8 pitches spread on a vast territory of about 70,000 m². The idea was to create a new area that would rather be open for everyone as training grounds for single sports use (such as football) are normally used only by members of the football club.
The Exploratorium should encourage the user to break away from the traditional way of thinking about football and challenge a broad group of users across both genders and all ages with opportunities for physical exercise and play.
The Exploratorium consists of landforms, artificial turf and a long activity strip. The site is organized around the landforms and the football fields with various activities laid out between them. The activity strip emphasizes the entrance to the Exploratorium and is the most urban part of the site. It runs along and between the artificial turf on one side and the club house on the other side.The strip is the urban gathering place. It is packed with features and is heavily used for play, training and other physical activity, both in groups and as an individual user. A concrete wall is multifunctional and can be used for sitting, climbing, as a rebound wall, etc.
The jury was impressed by the multi-use options “for all kinds of people; all ages, all abilities and all gender. The Exploratorium is freely accessible. The implementation of hills in between the soccer fields does not only serve as protection but also as a stage for spectators. The „activity strip“ shows a very innovative design. The result is a highly elaborated training concept for the day by day use of all interested football players.

The competition for the design of the Heerenschürli sports facility involved the renovation, transformation and extension of the existing athletics courses, football pitches and baseball fields of the Hirzenbach neighbourhood in the northwest of Zürich into a sport and leisure open space. The project aimed to integrate the different sport fields with other facilities such as restaurant, locker room and workshop building.
The 13 playing fields are surrounded by high fences, giving the sports arena its architectural status and urban intensity. The materiality of the project is the main strategy employed to answer the theme proposed for the competition – “evergreen” – as well as to meet the durability requirements of sports facilities with such a high demand of use.
The materials were chosen to ensure its sustainability – plastic is used in the different furniture and artificial lawn in the playing fields so that the complex can be used all year round. The fences are made of a rustproof material in order to guarantee durability. Energy and the general sustainability concept are reinforced by a rainwater collection system which conducts the water to a local creek.
The jury was impressed by “a bold colouration that is rarely encountered. The 13 pitches are surrounded by high green fences that gave the project its “evergreen” name. The colour green is also visible on the newly built changing building and in many details. The facility is intended not only for professional sport, but also for the neighbourhood. In the year immediately after its opening, the facility was used by 78,000 people.”

The Handball Arena, or Copper Box, is one of only four permanent venues in London’s Olympic Park and the third largest concert arena in London. During the 2012 Games it accommodated up to 7,500 spectators and hosted the handball tournament, the fencing element of the modern pentathlon and Paralympic goalball. Since reopened in summer 2013, it houses a range of high capacity local, national and international sporting, cultural and music events.
Handball requires much larger courts and capacities than pentathlon fencing, both of which took place in the arena. Retractable lower-tier seating enables the size and orientation of competition area to be adapted. This flexibility has proven to be the true strength of the building, with a structure and facilities to support a broad range of activities, from local sporting groups to concerts, conferences and even weddings.
The jury was impressed by the arena’s accessibility as it “locates all accessible seating options in an elevated position on all 4 sides of the arena. These positions offer superb views of the field of play and are accessed directly from ground level without the need for use of elevators. The raised landscape scheme creates easy access and also independent escape in the event of a fire or other emergency.”
One of the most challenging aspects in designing enclosed sports arenas is lighting. Make’s design maximises the quality of light by an innovative array of 88 lightpipes projecting down through the roof. These lightpipes are equipped with butterfly mechanisms to block out daylight when it is not required. The jury stated that “this exemplary idea for the roof of a mega event sports facility deserves at least a special prize.” Categoy

The Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre has revitalized a vacant stadium ground from 1978 into a 24/7 urban park and community destination.
The project is designed to allow three partnering but diverse groups to share their program specific amenities for mutual benefit and revenue. The Eskimos Footballers use the pool, track, and fitness centre for player training and host game related events in the gym and meeting spaces. The community has joint use of the field house and uses the Eskimos Football meeting and coaching rooms in the evening and offseasons. The stadium operations host sidestage events in the field house and use the Community and Eskimo meeting and locker rooms for hosting and staging functions for concerts and athletic events.
The jury was pleased by the “three major components – Field House, Aquatic Centre, and Gymnasium, all of which are skillfully organized around a “social hub” and integrated into an expansion of the existing Commonwealth Stadium. The architectural expression of this convergence of a major outdoor spectator facility with major recreation components is balanced, dramatic, and engaging. The Commonwealth Stadium has a strong “engineering” form and the very angular architectural forms of the Community Recreation Centre are well developed as complimentary, yet contrasting masses. The architectural expression is bold and elegantly simple. Strong silver metal forms define the mass, penetrated by both glass and phenolic wood panels. This creates a remarkably warm, transparent, and highly approachable building. For the skills in integrating a significant community complex into an existing stadium, the jury awards the Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre a Silver Medal.”

KölnBäder‘s new ice and swimming stadium Lentpark accommodates two ice rinks, an indoor swimming centre with a variety of pools, a sauna, an outdoor natural water swimming pond and a restaurant. An elevated ice skating track runs as a round circuit through every part of the building providing exciting views inside and outside. An intelligent cross-linking of the building services allows for the seemingly contradictory climatic requirements of an ice and swimming facility to operate in an energy-efficient manner.
On the north-west side lies the 1,800 square metre ice rink. On the south-east side the lap pool and recreational pools can be found. The entrance hall is centrally located and functions to divide the building’s main elements: water and ice. All areas combine a gross floor area of 12,000 square metres. The park-like landscaped outdoor area offers a natural water pool as well as a relaxation area.
A primary attraction is the 260-metre-long elevated ice skating track that lies above the ice hockey rink and is visually connected to the swimming area. A highly insulated glass façade serves to divide the ice track and the swimming area climatically.
The jury stated: “An ice skating track on the upper level embraces a swimming pool and ice hockey rink at the lower level. The jury very much liked this ingenious design idea and praised the client’s and also the architect’s braveness to offer this new kind of combined sports and leisure facility to the citizens of Cologne. The attractiveness of their approach is proven by the high number of users from the very beginning. The horizontal structured façades underline the building’s claim to be a dynamic and sporty place.”
The Hillcrest Centre transforms a precinct of adjacent public parks through the sensitive consolidation and reorganization of existing facilities. The impetus for this process was the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games and specifically the decision to site the Olympic Curling Venue at Hillcrest Park.
Hillcrest Centre contains indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities, ice rink, curling facility, gymnasium, fitness areas, multi-purpose rooms, library, and childcare. As the largest public facility in Vancouver, the Centre has averaged 6,000 visitors a day; that’s over 2 million visitors a year! The user benefits from the building’s open and engaging layout, access to an abundance of daylight, views and facility legibility.
This project incorporates a wide array of innovative sustainable design strategies including a focus on energy efficiency, water usage and user comfort. The core of the energy system is heat transfer from the adjacent ice facility refrigeration system to the pool.
The jury appreciated the process of transformation: “Hillcrest Centre was the curling venue for 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic medal games. While a very successful venue, it was designed based on the community needs in the legacy or post-Olympic mode. The transition for the Games configuration to legacy has been both dramatic and skillful, with only the aquatic centre remaining consistent through the transition. The Games 4-sheet curling component, along with the temporary seating has been converted to a community ice arena and adjacent gymnasium, while curling has been relocated to an adjacent part of the building and increased to the current 8 sheets.

The vision behind StreetMekka is to make urban sports and street culture available to everyone in order to empower youth and prevent conflict and marginalisation on a local and global level. The programme for StreetMekka is a fusion of different street sports, dance and street culture and an effort to integrate minority youth into the community.
StreetMekka is part of the multicultural building compound, which shares the same courtyard. The design strategy was to save as much of the old industrial look as possible, making the place more "ghetto like". The walls have not been painted, the railings are of raw iron, and the floor is made of asphalt, concrete or chipboard, which all in all makes the building less institutional, cheaper and more open for the users’ own marks and paintings.
The front toward the public courtyard has been opened with big garage doors at the end of the main hall. The garage doors can be opened in the summer and when placed horizontally the gates create a covered zone outside that can function as an outdoor scene for music etc.
StreetMekka in Copenhagen was awarded a Special Prize by the jury “in appreciation of the successful transformation of an existing industrial building into a sports and street culture centre for young people. This project is of high social relevance in terms of empowering young people and preventing conflicts. It is a valuable example of the recuperation of out-of-use facilities for sport and for the adequateness of 19th century industrial facilities - a tram shed in this case - for all kinds of young urban activities.”

West VancouverCommunity Centre includes a mix of community, recreation and cultural amenities. It unifies and connects the various functions and provides focus to the new and improved public outdoor spaces becoming the social heart of the West Vancouver Community. The building’s illuminated three-storey circulation spine works as the building’s primary artery, linking gymnasiums, fitness rooms and wellness clinics both physically and visually.
This project was designed with a comprehensive strategy focused on learning from real life situations and not relying on generic accessibility codes. Individuals with physical, visual (including a guide dog) and hearing impairments were involved in the building process from the very start. The result is a facility that far exceeds the local Canadian accessibility codes, which in themselves are very progressive.
Examples include the minimal use of doors (such as at wash room and change room entries), transparent, clear and logical circulation patterns, visually contrasting doors and tactile flooring, handrails in public corridors, benches in corridors, signage that is both contrasting and tactile (raised letters and Braille), magnetic induction hearing assistance loops, diffused lighting (avoiding spot lights), making all sanitary facilities accessible and using power assisted door operators on all entries (interior and exterior) and washrooms.
The jury was impressed: “This new Civic Centre encompasses the best of accessible design offering easy access to all areas of the facility. In particular, the minimal use of doors to access changing facilities is excellent and should inform future design as it greatly contributes to a truly barrier-free environment.”

Allen Jack+Cottier adopted an imaginative approach to materials, structure and form when designing the Indoor Sports Stadium on Milson Island in the Hawkesbury River, NSW. The client’s brief called for a robust, multi-purpose sports hall to be used for indoor sports such as basketball, netball and volleyball, as well as theatre and dance performances and exhibitions.
There are no visible ridges, eaves, gutters, down pipes or skylights on the exterior. The continuous wall/roof shape dispenses with gutters, reducing maintenance and removing a major bush-fire hazard. The natural thermal ventilation created the wing shape. Smooth airflow required a clean, crisp interior skin.
At night, the curved wing shape of the new building acts as a proscenium arch to define the place for the campfire, an important part of each camp at the site. It works both for the audience inside looking out to the gathering space, and for the audience around the fireplace looking back into the hall.
The jury was enthusiastic: “The design pays high respect to the environment with special concern to material research and studies of wind and rain. So the shape of the building actually arose from considerations of wind load, bushfire protection and maintenance. The jury awards Milson Island Indoor Sports Hall a silver medal for the successful transformation of a highly functional and environmentally friendly concept into a beautiful design which fits wonderful into the unique landscape. The curved wing shape of the building and the choice of material underline the impression of a sports hall which slots gently into the woods.” Categoy

The placement of the new double gymnasium in the context of the school campus and museum at the centre of Chiasso allows various relationships with these important urban planning elements. The main volume of the sports hall is built on a square floor plan and has a partially protruding base.
While the sports hall has no privileged orientation and assumes the character of a public space, the base reacts to the different situations and topographical divergences. To highlight the duality of the base and the visible volume of the sports hall, the latter is detached from it and hovers on all four sides upon a pointed bearing. The detachment of the main volume provides the lighting for the interior and connects it with various urban and landscape elements in the vicinity.
The two-court hall was dug into the ground, giving it an even more unobtrusive and stately appearance. There is a clear layout on the inside, with the changing rooms on one side and the equipment room on the other. The hall forms the centre of the facility.
The jury was very impressed by “the clear solution adopted for obtaining a very good result with harmonious architecture in which above all functional panel structures offer great alternation.”

In 2006, SGL Projekt was asked to design the revitalisation of a farmstead 50 kilometres to the south of Prague for congresses, company presentations, the holding of corporate events and leisure activities. The farmstead included a distillery with a chimney where storks had lived since 1926. The Stork‘s Nest became a symbol which affected the conception of the indoor riding arena and thinking about all the objects of this project.
The residential yard now consists of a reception, hotel, conference hall, restaurant, pool and bowling hall and a house with private garden for VIP guests. The indoor riding arena is used for novices and young horses and for lunging too.
The supporting structure is made of glulam timber beams. The external cladding is made of translucent polycarbonate. At the top of the building there is a central skylight with a diameter of 8 metres. It is used to intensively ventilate the internal space via natural air flow.
The jury was pleased: “The Stork Nest is one of those unique designs that take a strong visual concept and successfully transform it into an exceptional building design. The circular plan is ideal for the core activity of horse riding. The exterior log skin is an effective shading material that creates, both during the day and into the night, a dramatic and iconic element.
The Stork Nest is well integrated into a revitalised farmstead site that includes a hotel, conference hall, restaurant, pool and bowling area. For this exceptional response to a unique component of the site, and its uncompromised execution, the jury awards this small architectural gem a Bronze Medal.”

The Noor-e-Mobin sports hall was designed for the educational complex of the Noor-e-Mobin institute, a non-governmental organisation, at no charge. The client demanded a sports hall for the future for the educational complex. It should not only accord with the atmosphere of the Noor-e-Mobin Complex, but also come in cheaper with a budget of about 400,000 dollars.
The site is located in the suburbs of Bastam (one of the ancient cities of Iran). About 28 hectares are to be developed into the Noor-e-Mobin educational complex. The continuous movement of clouds from the “Cloud Mountain” is one of the most beautiful phenomena of the site.
The 1,400 m² sports hall consists of a multi-functional basketball court, equipment stores and a semi-level floor. The hall provides panoramic views of the clouds, mountains and plains. The idea was to create a building that would be a “natural thing” becoming a landscape (like a cloud) itself. In this regard, double-glazed 18mm safety glass is used around the hall.
The jury was impressed: “Being the first step in a huge educational complex, this sports hall is remarkable proof of a development project dedicated to children. Even though the building brief only called for a single sports hall and had tight financial restrictions, the architects found an exemplary design and construction solution. The diagonal axes let the building become a new and remarkable element in the landscape, which is dominated by continuous cloud movements over the neighbouring mountains. At the same time, these diagonals enable the skilful integration of glass facades, which allow views from the interior to the beautiful landscape.”

The Karate-Dojo was built in 1927. It is located in a park of Hitotsubashi University and it had become the neighbouring residents’ walkway. As the facility became outdated, NPO Ikku-kai, an organisation of graduates of the University’s Karate Team, started to collect donations to refurbish the area.
The project aimed to complete three goals; to provide aesthetic harmony with the rich surrounding natural environment, to provide a comfortable practice environment with reduced noise for the benefit of the neighbours, and to produce an environmentally friendly design with lowcost construction and easy maintenance.
The dojo-type building, which is used for martial arts, tends to stand out in a residential area due to its size. To avoid inconsistence between the dojo and residences, a divided gabled roof plan was used and decorated cement shingles for houses were applied to the roofs and the outer wall as a finishing material. This material aesthetically matches the surrounding residences. It is also low cost and easy to maintain due to the light load on the structure, precise modules, and little transformation over time. And, with its dark finish, it enhances the surrounding natural view.
The jury was impressed by “the special roof design of this project that lends expression to the poetry of the arms and hands during karate combat. To mark its 80th anniversary, the entire building underwent modernisation. The roof has been designed to prevent autumn leaves from blocking the drain pipes. The rainwater discharged by the divided gabled roof permeates through gravel.”

The mandate for Abilities Centre was to design a state-of-the-art multi-purpose facility, committed to the development of an inclusive and integrated environment, where respect, understanding, cooperation, innovation, and education form core values. The complex is designed to be a world-class indoor facility catering to local, national and international sporting events, and a global centre of excellence for practical knowledge and insight into providing recreation, athletic and performing arts facilities for people with varying degrees of abilities and challenges.
The client base has a wide range of physical and/or other developmental abilities. Many have a combination of challenges. Centred on sport and fitness but extending to art, music, and other programs, Abilities Centre contains an indoor six lane IAAF 200-metre track, three full regulation basketball courts, accommodation for a future climbing wall, a fitness centre, a multi-purpose room, a furnished apartment for training in skills to support autonomous living, and health and wellness programs for every ability.
A variety of landscape experiences were incorporated, including a sensory garden, an open plaza to support outdoor public events, and a field of indigenous perennial flowers in the water retention pond running along the south face of the building.
In the jury’s opinion “this facility has been designed to the highest accessibility standards far exceeding the requirements of the building regulations. Circulation spaces have been designed which take account of the recent popularity of mobility scooters for disabled and older people. There are more accessible toilets than the usual requirements, adult change tables with hosts are provided and roll-in showers also.“

The Shanghai Oriental Sports Center (SOSC) opened for the 14th FINA World Swimming Championships in July 2011. The sports complex consists of an indoor stadium for sports and cultural events, a natatorium (swimming hall), an outdoor swimming pool and a media centre. In keeping with a sustainable urban development policy, the SOSC was built on former industrial brownfield land along the Huangpu River. The individual venues are designed to be used for a variety of other purposes after the Swimming Championships as well.
Water is the overarching theme of both the park and the architecture of the stadiums and the media centre. It is the connecting element between the buildings, which stand on raised platforms in specially constructed lakes. Thus, the round stadiums have a curved lakeside shore round them, while the rectangular Natatorium has a straight lakeside shore. Design affinities, a shared formal idiom and use of materials give the three stadiums structural unity.
Hall Stadium
During the world swimming championships, pool events and synchronized swimming championships took place in the Hall Stadium, which now is used for boxing matches, basketball, badminton or icehockey matches and concerts. The hall has a capacity of 14,000, which can be increased to 18,000 by the use of mobile seating. The main structure of the closed building with a round ground plan consists of reinforced concrete, while the roof is a steel structure with a 170 m span with aluminium cladding. The parallel steel girders create 35m-high arcades and include the glass façades of the encircling open foyer.

Natatorium
The Natatorium contains four pools arrayed in a row: two standard-sized, one for diving and a leisure pool. It has over 3,500 fixed seats, which were expanded to 5,000 for the world championships. The swimming hall is a closed building with a rectangular ground plan, a main structure of reinforced concrete and a roof structure of sectional steel girders. The roof structure with triangular glass surfaces is around 210 m long, 120 m wide and 22 m high.
Outdoor Pool
This swimming complex is located outdoor on an artificial island and offers 2,000 fixed stadium seats. For the World Swimming Championships and other outstanding events, its capacity was increased to 5,000 seats. The competition-size diving pool and diving towers are complemented by a competition pool. As in the other stadiums, the roof structure with its external diameter of 130 m reflects the round ground-plan of the shell of the building. The roof trusses are carried by the building structure. A lightweight membrane between the modules provides protection against sun and rain.
The jury was very impressed by design and sustainability of this project as “the post Championship use was considered from start. The lake with the facilities by its side and the design affinite a shaved formal idiom giving the three stadiums structural unity. The steel structure of broad arches with triangular elements is made of coated aluminium sheet evoking rails in the wind. The public transport is well connected. The wheelchair users are considered and spaces provided at different floor levels.”
In 2008, the Freizeitbetriebe of the City of Graz awarded a competition for a new swimming bath on the site of the old Eggenberg Pool. The new building is situated on the fringe of the grounds towards the streets, thus protecting the outdoor area. Like a slightly opened oyster made of overlapping, layered metal panels, opening generously to the outdoor area and letting in light and nature to the intimate indoor area, the shell contains all the spa and swimming facilities. Floor-to-ceiling glazing offers a panoramic view of the indoor area with its 50 m pool, a learners´ pool and a gym. The 50 m pool is suitable for international competitions in swimming, synchronised swimming, water polo, synchronised diving, and underwater rugby.
The outdoor spa and garden are gently shaped to conceal the bathers from onlookers. Different kinds of saunas, steam and heating baths, a salt-room, a water landscape of basins and a fire grotto, rest areas and the restaurant are situated in an environment of themed arrangement of flowering plants.
The jury’s verdict: “As it is the most modern pool in the country, eligible for national and international competitions, this facility is of high relevance for the competitive swimming in Austria. The Auster swimming pool, which is distinguished through its unique shape, resembling an oyster, rather closed and withdrawn to the street and generously opening to the outdoor area is awarded a silver medal. The jury emphasizes the high quality of the spatial concept, the light and activating atmosphere of the pool area as well as the fine and creative detailing, including furniture, materials and lighting.”

Cologne Cathedral was completed 130 years ago and for 25 of those years skaters have firmly taken possession of Roncalliplatz in front of the southern facade. In recent years the scene has been increasingly viewed as a problem, a new “home” had to be found.
The result was a move away from the usual image of a skate park with lots of curves and ramps. The skaters wanted an urban area that offered obstacles and challenges just like in the city, only that these should be better arranged and more durable. The urban elements, such as steps, edges, terrain and green areas, should be re-interpreted and placed. No square like this had ever been built before.
The piece of land lies directly on the Rhine, in the extension of the city’s most prestigious building area. It is easily accessible, although irreclaimable as it lies on the Rhine’s flood plain.
The jury liked this solution: “Offering built obstacles and challenges to the users, this skate facility reminds every one of the conflicts skaters often encounter in inner-city locations when they adapt public places to practice their sport. By choosing a very prominent location at the south end of a former industrial harbor which was converted to one of the city’s top spots, the municipality together with the designers and the skaters association found an exemplary way of letting skating become an integral part of urban Cologne life. Moreover, the linear design chosen for the skating area is very innovative and inviting which makes this public space not only a practice area for skaters, but also a major point of attraction for pedestrians and cyclists passing by.”

Inzell is a small municipality in the Bavarian Alps with around 4,000 inhabitants, and an internationally renowned reputation in the world of winter sports. Numerous speed skating World Champions and Olympic Medalists can trace their roots back to Inzell. The new speed skating hall pays homage to its historic, Bavarian context and breathtaking natural landscape while still providing the town with the most advanced speed skating stadium in the world. With its distinctive architecture, visible from afar, the stadium has become a new icon for Inzell.
The client’s specifications for the project were very brief. The project was to provide accommodation for around 6,000 spectators and a speed skating track with the “fastest ice” in the world. The architectural intervention was perceived as a structure that would play a supporting role to the site’s breathtaking scenery. The entire circumference of the ice rink is wrapped with a concrete grandstand that allows the ground surface to appear to merge with the adjacent and existing terrain.
The jury was amazed: “The new speed skating stadium in Inzell does not only fulfill the community’s demand to improve its reputation being one of the top speed skating locations in the world, by offering a joyful and light interior for athletes to train and compete. Its architectural quality is also to create a new landmark in the rural Bavarian scenery with a membrane roof sculpting around the mounted skylights and the girder construction underneath. The jury was very pleased to see a huge amount of vertical glazing in this ice sports facility, which allows athletes and spectators to enjoy both high level sports and the beautiful mountain landscape.”

From the inception of Lee Valley White Water Centre, designing for legacy use was of paramount importance. The final design incorporates a flat water lake, a training white water channel – legacy course – and the main Olympic White Water Course. These different areas of water allow use by beginners through to Olympic champions. The facilities building sits at the heart of the White Water Centre with changing rooms, equipment storage and the pumps for the course arranged around a courtyard that opens onto the finish pool, providing space for the storage of boats and instruction in a controllable area. The upper level contains the spectator and control facilities with café, function room and office areas opening onto the terrace and overlooking the start pool.
The overall objective was for London 2012 to deliver the most accessible and inclusive Olympic Games to date – recognising the educational, cultural and social diversity of the UK and removing barriers to people with mobility or sensory impairments. The design was developed through close consultation with national and local groups to ensure that it respected cultural and social sensitivities - enabling everyone regardless of age gender, faith or disability to participate equally, confidently and independently.
The jury stated that “long-term sustainability was in the heart of the design with features such as ground source heat pumps, solar panels and rain water harvesting. The simplicity and linearity of the given solution must be underlined in this very significant sports centre. The jury was highly impressed by the integration of this facility into the context of the Valley Regional Park.”

Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. The population lives in a day-to-day struggle. Even if the majority of families is capable of securing a minimal standard of living, many children and teenagers suffer froma a deprived sense of accomplishment. Many of them do not go to school and there are practically no offerings for meaningful leisure activities. Life on the streets is dominated by drugs, crime and a lack of perspective.
In 2010, skate-Aid and Don Bosco started a cooperation with clear emphasis on sports. Don Bosco runs an educational center with an integrated sports facility in the capital of Tanzania. The facility consists of two football fields and two basketball courts, which lay in the direct vicinity of a shanty town.
The most recent project was a concrete skatepark as the new center of the facility, which was recently refurbished. The whole area has now been secured with a wall to prevent vandalism. The concrete skatepark as well as the complete sports facility is accessible for students of the education center and other teenagers free of charge. The main priority was to make the skatepark multi-functional. Accordingly, a large open area for concerts and other performances was added and the sides of the skatepark are made up of staircases, which can be used as stands for the two adjacent football fields.
The jury was very taken with the idea of “building a skatepark in Tanzania, one of the world’s poorest countries. Students and other teenagers are thus given the opportunity to skateboard in a great park in their free time. They are assisted by instructors from Uganda and Germany; local talents are also given support - and prospects for the future.”

Belize is a small Caribbean country with 300,000 inhabitants. With its beaches, a beautiful coral reef, sun, sea and constant high temperatures, Belize is a holiday dream. Caribbean flair and a Bacardifeeling-mood is conveyed by the lively and open-minded multicultural population.
The Caribbean Arena intends to provide a basketball arena and a place of exchange, communication and everyday life. The multifunctional arena is not only for events but is activated on a daily base as well. Therefore, the principal theme of the design concept is “overlapping”: an overlap in relation to typology, function, time and atmosphere. In addition to the basketball and sport arena, it offers public space while actually serving as a weekly market, meeting place for cultural performances, speeches and discussions as well as leisure, sports and recreation. For instance, the foyer can become a showroom, the administrative area a small library, the VIPparking lot a streetball area, the cash point a kiosk and even an internal tribune can be used as a cinema or plenary hall.
The jury was deeply impressed as “the Caribbean Arena is both a well-considered basketball facility and a place where people meet... Despite the indoor basketball facility, the arena proper is this outdoor gathering space, surrounded on all sides by varying quantities of spectator seating. The concept of developing the Arena as a centre for sport and social gatherings is reinforced by the inclusion of a climbing wall, dance studio and streetball area in different parts of the site. The jury was extremely impressed with this architecturally sophisticated and socially relevant design concept, and unanimously voted to award it the Gold medal.”

Activity Centre is located in the center of Odessa on the site of the old Palace of Sports. Taking into account all the needs of modern life and activities, the project provides almost everything recreational areas should offer nowadays.
The basic idea is a special route that crosses the building on all levels and makes it possible to get anywhere by bike, by skateboard or on foot. From this route, visitors can see rock climbers climbing, athletes training, swimmers swimming and children playing.
The main building offers a large swimming pool, a restaurant, three cinemas, an administrative area and a roof garden. On the other side of the facility, an open mixture of velodrome, sports ground and playground, enclosed by the special route, can be found.
The jury awarded a Silver medal “as an activity centre effectively provides many different recreational activities for the population of all ages in a very pleasant environment. The centre becomes a park for active recreational experiences that can be enjoyed on a special route going through a special route that takes visitors through swimming activities, rock-climbing, skate boarding, a fitness area, spas, biking or simply walking.

The Kottbusser Tor is one of the noisiest places in Berlin. The Neues Zentrum Kreuzberg amplifies the traffic noise of two crossing metro lines, eight lanes of street traffic and many construction sites into a cacaphonic, health-threatening experience, with noise exceeding 110 dB audible in any of the 348 surrounding flats. This is the ideal site for the Acoustic Hammam.
Visitors enter the Acoustic Hammam through a lobby near the main subway entrance. A small fountain domed by a square cupolla marks both the start and end point of a Hammam cycle.
From the fountain, visitors may enter five temperature-controlled and acoustically optimised spaces: the cold room, the rain room, the warm water room, the steam bath and the navel stone room. All these spaces are connected to a central, courtyard-like a hidden garden. Visitors are encouraged to spend between half an hour and an hour in each of these spaces to benefit from their health-improving qualities. Unlike the ancient al-Bazuriya hammam in Damascus which houses a linear spacial program following the seasons, the Acoustic Hammam is designed with a cyclic, floating setup in a modern context.
The jury was pleased by this concept as “these rooms provide the latest scientifically and physiologically correct setup: dry – cold, wet – cold, wet – warm, dry – warm, allowing users to finally relax in the biggest, acoustically most elaborate, room-temperature space. The equipment and installations provided come together to create contemporary-standard healthpromoting conditions. There are pleasant day and night lighting effects for the well-being of users.”
The Allianz Arena, Munich: no longer merely one of the largest and most attractive football stadiums in Europe, it is now also one of the safest. The video surveillance system has been thoroughly overhauled and converted to Dallmeier technology. At the heart of the system, Panomera® multifocal sensor technology is tasked with ensuring order in the North and South ends of the stadium.
The stadium can accommodate over 71,000 spectators. In order to ensure the safety of fans and players at all times, the existing video surveillance system has been completely modernised. The system for controlling individual PTZ cameras was technologically temperamental and the resolution achieved was no longer equal to current needs. It would not have been commercially viable to modernise or expand the existing system, so the operator set out to find a new system.
The patented Dallmeier camera system Panomera® is a so-called multifocal sensor system. Unlike conventional cameras, which rely on single lenses, the multifocal sensor system operates with multiple lenses, each with a different focal length. This new sensor concept makes it possible to provide surveillance over a vast area with the highest possible resolution from a single installation point. Even more distant individuals or objects are captured with the same quality resolution as those in the image foreground.
Whereas PTZ cameras only ever record the zone that is currently being viewed live, which means that the success of searches depends crucially on the respective operators, with Panomera® the entire image is recorded continuously and at maximum resolution. This means that no details are lost, and a wide range of analysis and evaluation options are made possible.
The responsible staff members at the Allianz Arena were particularly concerned to provide security in the spectators’ areas at the North and South ends. So the camera systems were mounted at a dizzying
height: three cascaded Panomeras behind the scoreboard cover the upper tier of the North stand, several more Panomeras on the lighting gantries are trained on the lower tiers of the North and South ends.
In all, about 100 cameras are used to oversee the entire stadium area including the stands, the inner building, entrances and exits, and even the car parks. In the course of modernisation, depending on their condition the existing cameras were either replaced with Dallmeier dome cameras or box cameras with integrated infrared illumination, or were incorporated in the new system. Previously, the operator worked with two management systems in order to be able to operate the cameras from different manufacturers. But these have now been replaced with a single system from Dallmeier, the SeMSy® Management System: the legacy cameras from multiple manufacturers, the Dallmeier HD cameras and the Panomera® cameras can all be controlled and analysed very simply with a single management system.
Four workstations, all equipped with the management system and the Panomera® Viewer, have been set up in the command centre for the police. Another three workstations are located in the Welcome Area West, the Stewards’ Office and the Engineering Room. This enables the security staff and stewards to be deployed optimally in the stadium during matches, and even areas such as the stairwells or lifts can be overseen reliably. In addition, all status reports from the PGuard advance analysis software are routed to the workstation in the Engineering Room, so the staff there is informed automatically if, for example, a fan or a camera malfunctions.
Several DMX 1600 Smatrix were installed for the recordings from the legacy cameras, the Panomera® systems are stored on IPS 2400 Smavia. The IPS 2400 is a high-performance appliance with integrated storage system and high recording speed. The IPS 2400 is particularly notable for its extremely space-saving design as well as low power consumption and heat emission.

Herzstück der Anlage ist die Multifocal-Sensortechnik Panomera® für die Absicherung der Nord- und Südkurve.
Über 71.000 Besucher finden im Stadion Platz. Um die Sicherheit von Fans und Spielern jederzeit zu gewährleisten, wurde die bestehende Videoüberwachungsanlage grundlegend erneuert. Die Steuerung einzelner PTZ-Kameras war technisch anfällig, und die vorhandene Auflösung war nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Eine Modernisierung oder Erweiterung der bestehenden Anlage war nicht wirtschaftlich, deshalb sah sich der Betreiber nach einem neuen System um.
Bei dem patentierten Kamerasystem Panomera® von Dallmeier handelt es sich um ein sog. Multifocal-Sensorsystem, das im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Kameras nicht mit einem einzelnen, sondern mit mehreren Objektiven mit jeweils unterschiedlicher Brennweite arbeitet. Dieses neue Sensorkonzept ermöglicht es, von nur einem Installationspunkt aus eine riesige Fläche mit höchster Detailauflösung zu überwachen. Auch weiter entfernte Personen oder Objekte werden mit ebenso guter Auflösung dargestellt wie Objekte im vorderen Bildbereich.
Während PTZ-Kameras immer nur den Bereich aufzeichnen, der gerade live betrachtet wird, und bei denen die Fahndungserfolge somit maßgeblich von den jeweiligen Nutzern abhängig sind, wird bei Panomera® permanent das Gesamtbild aufgezeichnet – und das mit höchster Auflösung. Somit gehen keine Details verloren und es ergeben sich umfangreiche Analyse- und Auswertemöglichkeiten.
Den Verantwortlichen der Allianz Arena war vor allem die Absicherung der Fanbereiche in der Nord- und Südkurve wichtig. Die Kamerasysteme wurden deshalb in schwindelerregender Höhe montiert: Drei kaskadierte Panomeras hinter der Anzeigentafel überblicken den Oberrang der Nordtribüne, weitere Panomeras an den Lichttraversen haben die Unterränge Nord und Süd im Blickfeld.
Insgesamt überwachen etwa 100 Kameras den gesamten Stadionbereich mit Tribünen, Innengebäude, Ein- und Ausgängen sowie Parkplätzen. Die bestehenden Kameras wurden während der Modernisierung je nach Zustand entweder durch Dallmeier Dome-Kameras bzw. Boxkameras mit integrierter Infrarotbeleuchtung ersetzt oder in die neue Anlage eingebunden. Früher wurde mit zwei Managementsystemen gearbeitet, um die Kameras der verschiedenen Hersteller bedienen zu können. Nun wurde alles durch ein einziges System, das
SeMSy® Managementsystem von Dallmeier, ersetzt: Bestandskameras verschiedener Hersteller, Dallmeier HD-Kameras sowie die Panomera®-Kameras können bequem über ein Managementsystem kontrolliert und ausgewertet werden.
Für die Polizei wurden insgesamt vier Arbeitsplätze in der Befehlszentrale eingerichtet, die mit dem Managementsystem und dem Panomera® Viewer ausgestattet sind. Drei weitere Workstations befinden sich im Welcome Bereich West, beim Ordnungsdienst sowie im Technikerbüro. Damit können die Sicherheitskräfte und Ordner im Stadion während eines Spiels optimal organisiert und auch Bereiche wie Treppenhäuser oder Aufzüge zuverlässig überblickt werden. Außerdem laufen an der Workstation im Technikerbüro alle Statusmeldungen der Auswertesoftware PGuard advance auf, so dass das Personal automatisch beispielsweise über Lüfteroder Kameraausfälle informiert wird.
Für die Aufzeichnung der Bestandskameras wurden mehrere DMX 1600 Smatrix installiert, die Panomera®-Systeme werden auf IPS 2400 Smavia gespeichert. Der IPS 2400 ist eine hochperformante Appliance mit integriertem Storage-System und hoher Speichergeschwindigkeit. Der IPS 2400 zeichnet sich insbesondere durch seine platzsparende Bauweise sowie eine geringe Leistungsaufnahme und Wärmeabgabe aus.
In the Chinese province of Liaoning, preparations for the 12th National Games of the People‘s Republic of China were in full swing. Held from 31 August to 12 September 2013, they saw nearly 10,000 athletes compete in a total of 350 events across 31 disciplines at what is the biggest national sporting occasion in China.
Polytan|STI and its longstanding partner company, C. Melchers GmbH & Co, had already begun work back in May on two sports facilities in the port city of Dalian that will be used for the National Games. Dalian was one of 13 host cities for this mega event.
Dalian
12th National Games of the People‘s Republic of China
At the Liaoning Maritime Sports School two MegaTurf Cool Plus hockey pitches were installed, one of which is certified to FIH Global standards– the first for Polytan in China. The facility has also been extended by two Poligras hockey pitches.
When it comes to running tracks, those in charge have also opted for Polytan: at the Dalian Sports Center they have installed a circular track in the main stadium, a warm-up track and two indoor areas – nearly 30,000m2 of the Polytan M system in total. What’s more, the circular track in the main stadium is IAAF
Class I-certified. This is where the finishing line for the marathon at this year’s National Games was located.
The installation of both projects had to be completed in just 40 days – a real challenge, given that the weather conditions were far from ideal. Another challenge was the logistics: the two projects were installed simultaneously, but the two facilities are some 50 km apart. The enormous commitment of all parties, however, enabled all hurdles to be overcome and deadlines kept.
In der chinesischen Provinz Liaoning liefen die Vorbereitungen für die 12th National Games of the People‘s Republic of China auf Hochtouren: Vom 31. August bis 12. September 2013 traten bei der größten nationalen Sportveranstaltung in China fast 10.000 Sportler bei insgesamt 350 Wettkämpfen in 31 Sportarten gegeneinander an.
Bereits im Mai begannen Polytan|STI und dessen langjähriges Partnerunternehmen, C. Melchers GmbH & Co, mit den Arbeiten an zwei Sportanlagen in der Hafenstadt Dalian, die bei den National Games
zum Einsatz kamen. Dalian war einer von insgesamt 13 Austragungsorten dieses Megaevents.
An der Liaoning Maritime Sports School wurden zwei MegaTurf Cool Plus Hockeyfelder installiert, von denen eines FIH Global zertifiziert ist – eine Premiere für Polytan in China. Zusätzlich wurde die Anlage durch zwei Poligras Hockeyfelder erweitert.
Auch im Bereich Laufbahnen setzten die Verantwortlichen auf Polytan: Im Dalian Sports Center wurden sowohl die
Rundlaufbahn des Hauptstadions als auch ein Warm-Up Track sowie zwei IndoorBereiche installiert – insgesamt knapp 30.000 m² des Polytan M-Systems. Die Rundlaufbahn im Hauptstadion, auf der auch der Marathon-Zieleinlauf stattfand, ist zudem IAAF Class I zertifiziert.
Die Installation beider Projekte musste in nur 40 Tagen abgeschlossen werden –eine wahre Herausforderung, denn die Wetterbedingungen waren nicht optimal. Außerdem wurden die Projekte simultan installiert, obwohl die beiden Anlagen ungefähr 50 km voneinander entfernt liegen. Durch den besonderen Einsatz aller Beteiligten konnten jedoch alle Hürden gemeistert und die Deadlines eingehalten werden.

Dreams come true
Colourful playground equipment
Technology is developing rapidly. Children spend hours on virtual games as meticulously designed as real ones. Just thirty years ago, children built castles from stones in the streets. This generation was lucky having natural toys to play with and places to go. The same can’t really be said of the times we now live in. Regimentally structured lives challenge the nature of childhood.
Cemer Kent embellishes children’s worlds, taking them out of the concrete jungle and creating playgrounds for their dreams, presenting limitless play and imagination workshops that give them the freedom to be children. The Cemer Kent family of 250 people is constantly working, researching, developing and sharing values with our children so that future generations can play real games in real life.
The company sees things from a child’s perspective and designs according to their needs. Colourful playgrounds feed children’s imaginations. The foundations of physically and psychologically healthy individuals are laid during childhood. Cemer wants to bring up healthy generations.

Stingray Climbing is almost ready for unveiling. It contributes to mental development by amusing kids. The Stingray series is one of the most innovative products in the new generation of playground equipment. The aim of this playground system is to amuse the kids as well as improve their physical development. Its complex structure forces children to think about their next steps during play. Interactive climbing playgrounds which draw great interest in Europe and the United States are now also very popular in Turkey.
With the playground and fitness equipment it produces, Cemer Kent began to garner attention in the business through its activities outside of the country. Cemer wants to maintain a very broad vision and function like a family, with professional work principles. The important goal is clear to everyone: to offer all children their dreams, imagination and access to fantastic games.
Nowadays, children’s bodies are confined indoors, trapping their minds in a vicious circle. Cemer is giving children the right to play and the freedom to be a child.
Träume werden wahr
Farbenfreude auf dem Spielplatz
Die Technologie befindet sich unaufhörlich im Wandel. Kinder verbringen heute Stunden mit Computerspielen, die so sorgfältig entwickelt und grafisch gestaltet werden wie klassische Spielformen. Kaum 30 Jahre ist es her, da spielten Kinder noch auf der Straße und bauten Burgen aus Steinen, die sie dort fanden. Diese Generation konnte sich glücklich schätzen, natürliche Gegenstände als Spielzeug und ihre gesamte Umgebung als Spielplatz nutzen zu
können. Heute kann davon wirklich keine Rede mehr sein. Ein rigoros durchgeplanter Alltag gefährdet die Kindheit in ihrem eigentlichen Wesen.
Cemer Kent möchte die Welt unserer Kinder verzaubern, sie aus der schwarzgrauen Realität ihrer oftmals von Hochhäusern, Stahl und Beton geprägten Umgebung herausholen und ihnen Spielplätze zum Träumen geben, mit unzähligen Mög-
lichkeiten für Spiel und Fantasie, damit sie das sein dürfen, was sie sind – Kinder. Cemer Kent beschäftigt 250 Mitarbeiter, die gemeinsam arbeiten, forschen und entwickeln, um unseren Kindern Werte zu vermitteln und dafür zu sorgen, dass auch zukünftige Generationen echte Spiele in realer Umgebung spielen können.
Vorhang auf und Bühne frei für: Stingray Climbing. Das Gerät bietet Kindern vielfältigen Kletterspaß und trägt so zu ihrer geistigen Entwicklung bei. Mit der Stingray-Serie bieten wir eines der innovativsten Produkte einer neuen Generation von Spielplatzgeräten. Kinder sollen Spaß haben und dabei zugleich ihre physische Entwicklung fördern – beides ist mit diesem System möglich. Die komplexe Struktur verlangt den Kindern beim Spielen einiges ab, denn jeder Schritt will genau überlegt sein. Interaktive Kletterund Abenteuerspielplätze stoßen in den Vereinigten Staaten und in Europa auf wachsendes Interesse und werden auch in der Türkei immer beliebter.
Mit der Produktion seiner Spielplatz- und Fitnessgeräte auch über die Grenzen der Türkei hinaus hat Cemer Kent in der Branche an Aufmerksamkeit gewonnen. Cemer bewahrt immer den Blick für das Ganze und arbeitet nach einem familiären Prinzip mit einer professionellen Arbeitseinstellung. Jeder Angehörige des Unternehmens ist sich über das wichtige, übergeordnete Ziel im Klaren: allen Kindern Raum für Träume und Fantasie und Zugang zu magischen Spielwelten zu bieten.
Viele Kinder leben heute nur noch in geschlossenen Räumen, eine Sackgasse für eine umfassende geistige Entwicklung. Cemer gibt ihnen das Recht zum Spielen und die Freiheit, Kind zu sein. Wir betrachten die Dinge mit den Augen eines Kindes und entwickeln unsere Produkte ihrem Bedarf entsprechend. Farbenfrohe Spielplätze bestärken ihre Fantasie und Vorstellungskraft. Die Grundlagen für unsere körperliche und geistige Gesundheit werden in der Kindheit gelegt. Cemer möchte eine Generation gesunder Menschen heranziehen.

Grundsteinlegung für Sporthalle
Am 12. September wurde in Sinsheim-Hoffenheim der Grundstein für die neue Großsporthalle neben der Schule am Großen Wald gelegt. Sie wird sowohl dem Schul- als auch dem Vereinssport dienen. Die Pellikaan Bauunternehmen GmbH fungiert dabei als Generalunternehmer.
„Der Neubau der Halle ist ein Meilenstein für die Infrastruktur in Hoffenheim. Es entsteht im Zusammenspiel mit Schule und Kindergarten eine besondere Einrichtung, die Modellcharakter hat “, sagte Oberbürgermeister Jörg Albrecht anlässlich der Grundsteinlegung. „Ich danke der Dietmar Hopp Stiftung für dieses Geschenk und allen an der Planung und Durchführung beteiligten Firmen und Institutionen.“ Gemeinsam mit den Ehrengästen wurde eine Metallkapsel in den Grundstein eingemauert.
Nach Abriss der bestehenden, sanierungsfälligen Halle entsteht mit der neuen Sporthalle eine moderne und vielfäl-
tig nutzbare Sportstätte. Die neue Halle wird Spielfelder für alle möglichen Ballsportarten vorweisen und ist auch für Wettkämpfe nutzbar. Als Bauherr zeichnet sich die Dietmar Hopp Stiftung verantwortlich und finanziert das Projekt mit rund sieben Millionen Euro. Dietmar Pfähler, Sportreferent der Dietmar Hopp Stiftung sah in der neuen Halle eine „Begegnungsstätte für Sport, Bildung, Unterhaltung und Gemeinsamkeit, die zur Entwicklung von Persönlichkeiten und Leistungssportlern sowie zum sozialen Miteinander beitragen wird.“
Anschließend beschrieb Architekt Thomas Vorfelder die Planung und die besonderen Eigenschaften der zweistöckigen Halle, die 24.100 Kubikmeter umbauten Raum und Flächen von 1.815 Quadratmetern aufweisen wird. Die Fertigstellung ist für Oktober 2014 geplant.

Tennis-Talente auf Profi-Sportboden
Jungen und Mädchen im Alter zwischen sechs und 14 Jahren konnten am Rande des MercedesCup vom 6. bis 14. Juli 2013 auf einem echten ProfiBoden ihre ersten Tennis-Erfahrungen sammeln. Wie schon bei den BMW Open, stellte HARO Sports Flooring eine kleine Version seines mobilen Sportbodens Rom Tennis mit dem speziellen Oberbelag von Rebound Ace zur Verfügung. In Stuttgart kam zum ersten Mal überhaupt die OutdoorVersion des Sportbodens zum Einsatz.
„talentinos“ ist das neue Spielund Lehrkonzept des Bayerischen Tennisverbands mit dem Ziel, den Tennissport attraktiver für junge Menschen zu machen. Kinder und Jugendliche erhalten durch das neuartige Lehr- und Lernkonzept die Möglichkeit, Tennis ganz einfach und auf spielerische Art und Weise zu lernen. Und zwar mit Bällen, Schlägern und auf Plätzen, die dem Alter und der Körpergröße der Kinder angepasst sind. Zentrales Format: „Spielend Tennis lernen“ nach
Play+Stay. Einen ähnlichen Ansatz verfolgt der Württembergische Tennisverband.
Gerade wenn Kinder mit einer Sportart beginnen, ist es wichtig, dass das Equipment – von der Kleidung bis zum Sportgerät – passt und funktioniert. Nur so stellen sich Erfolgserlebnisse ein, die motivieren. Bei den TennisAssen der Zukunft spielt der Boden deshalb eine wichtige Rolle. Mit dem HARO Sportboden Rom Tennis bekamen die jungen Anfänger gleich einen echten Profi-Boden zur Verfügung gestellt. Dieser lässt sich spielen wie ein regulärer Hartplatz, aber gleichzeitig so angenehm laufen wie ein flächenelastischer Boden. HARO Sports Flooring, einer der führenden Hersteller von mobilen und fest eingebauten flächenelastischen Sportböden, liefert die technische Unterkonstruktion und Rebound Ace, bewährter Anbieter von Sportböden auf Acrylbasis, veredelt den Boden mit seinem Acryl-Oberbelag.

Hauraton stattet brasilianische Stadien aus Budapest baut neues Stadion
Wie schon bei vielen Großsportereignissen, ist der Entwässerungsprofi Hauraton auch bei den Stadien für die Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2014 wieder mit am Ball. Diesen Sommer fand im Gastgeberland Brasilien die Generalprobe, der Confed-Cup, statt. Fußballerisch ist Deutschland beim diesjährigen Wettbewerb nicht mit dabei. Bei der Ausstattung der Sportarenen sieht das anders aus: Bereits zwei Stadien der Meisterschaften sind mit Entwässerungssystemen von Hauraton aus Deutschland am Start.
Für das Mega-Event im kommenden Jahr wurden in Brasilien Stadien neu- oder umgebaut. Das Estádio Nacional de Brasília – eine der Spielstätten beim Confed-Cup – wurde auf den Resten des 2010 abgerissenen Estádio Mané Garrincha, einem alten Mehrzweckstadion, errichtet. Nach den Plänen des Architekten Castro Mello Arquitetos ist nun ein reines Fußballstadion entstanden. Von Hauraton sind in diesem Großprojekt
fast 1.400 m Recyfix Standard Rinnen der Nennweite 200 eingebaut worden. Die verzinkten Gitterrost-Abdeckungen sind mit der kleinen Maschenweite von 30 x 10 mm besonders fußgängerfreundlich. Die Rinnen sorgen auf den Tribünen des Stadions und in wichtigen Zugangsbereichen für die sichere Oberflächen-Entwässerung. Zudem sind 400 Meter der Vollkunststoffrinnen Recyfix Pro 100 mit dem Gugi-Kunststoff-Gitterrost zum Einsatz gekommen.
Die Bauleute waren begeistert von dem einfachen System, mit dem sich die Rinnen verlegen ließen. Besonderer Vorteil: Der Kunststoffrost behält sein Aussehen dauerhaft. Das Material der Abdeckungen, aber auch der Rinnen ist korrosions- und rostfrei. Ihn kennzeichnet damit eine hohe Beständigkeit und ein dauerhaft elegantes Aussehen.

Das marode Stadion AlbertFlorian wurde abgerissen und derzeit entsteht eine neue Spielstätte für den FTC Ferencvaros. Der Neubau mit 22.600 Sitzen wird den UEFAStandard erfüllen, modernstes Equipment aufweisen und höchste Sicherheit für Publikum und Akteure bieten. Ein transparentes Metallnetz mit zwei gigantischen LED-Panels als Fassade sorgt für Aufsehen – futuristisch außen wie innen. Passend dazu schließt sich das Metalldach an. Die Bauträger entschieden sich für ein Bauprodukt der neuesten Generation. Zambelli RIB-ROOF Metalldachsysteme liefert das über 13.000 m² große Stahldach.
Damit reiht sich das neue Stadion neben das Klagenfurter Wörtherseestadion, das SGL Stadion in Augsburg und das ukrainische Stadion Lviv ein. Alle vier Arenen sind baulich und technisch erste Liga, alle vier sind mit einem RIB-ROOF Metalldach gebaut. Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, Sicherheit und Wirtschaftlichkeit ma-
chen dieses Metalldachsystem zur innovativen Dachlösung im Sportstättenbau. In Budapest werden die Bahnen für das gewölbte Dach direkt auf der Baustelle montagefertig produziert. Die ausgeklügelte Haltesystematik der RIB-ROOF Metalldachsysteme erlaubt einen zügigen Bauverlauf und liefert als Endresultat einen optimalen und langfristigen Gebäudeschutz.
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Dachlösungen verursachen Metalldächer keine Wartungskosten, ein RIB-ROOF Dach zeichnet sich zusätzlich durch die hohe Gleitfähigkeit aus. Jede Bahn wird in einem Stück in der benötigten Form und Länge passgenau angefertigt. Alles wird durchdringungsfrei montiert, auch das systemeigene Dachzubehör, wie z.B. die Absturzsicherung. Eine zuverlässige Dachhaut entsteht.

Wartung von Sportgeräten
Sporthallen sind jährlich einer Sicherheitsprüfung zu unterziehen – so will es der Gesetzgeber. Um Sicherheit zu gewährleisten und Unfälle zu vermeiden, ist bei der Wartung von Sportgeräten die Qualität das entscheidende Merkmal.
Die Mitgliedsfirmen der „Gütegemeinschaft Sportgeräte e.V.“ verfügen über ein breites Fachwissen und eine langjährige Erfahrung bei der Produktion, Montage, Inspektion und Wartung von Sportgeräten.
Diese Kompetenz ebenso wie ihre Leistungen sind durch ein Gütezeichen des RAL-Instituts (Deutsches Institut für Gütesicherung und Kennzeichnung e.V.) zertifiziert. Das bedeutet, dass jährlich von einer neutralen Prüfinstanz kontrolliert wird, ob die Wartungsfirmen den hohen Qualitätsanforderungen des Regelwerks Gütesicherung RAL-GZ 945 entsprechen. Sie müssen somit regelmäßig Rechenschaft über
die Güte zeichenvergabe ablegen. Dies stellt ein Güteausschuss sicher, dem unter anderem Vertreter der öffentlich-rechtlichen Versicherer, des Deutschen Olympischen Sportbundes, der Arbeits gemeinschaft Deutscher Sportämter und des Bundesinstituts für Sportwissenschaft angehören.
Die „Gütegemeinschaft Sportgeräte e.V.“ steht somit für gesicherte und zertifizierte Qualität bei der Inspektion, Wartung und Erstellung von Sportgeräten. Diese Qualität garantiert Sicherheit –für die Sportler ebenso wie für die Betreiber der Sporthallen.

ISP prüft Sportanlage in Israel
Der Bürgermeister der viertgrößten Stadt Israels, Rischon le Zion, hatte die Absicht, größere sportliche Events in seiner Stadt zu veranstalten. Dafür wurde die wohl größte Sportanlage der Region in der Nachbarschaft Tel Avivs gebaut.
Geplant und angelegt wurde das neue Stadion in einer idyllischen Wohnsiedlung etwas außerhalb der Stadt, in deutschisraelischer Zusammenarbeit.
Das Naturrasen-Fußballfeld wird von einer 400-m-Rundlaufbahn mit 8 Einzelbahnen eingefasst. Die Leichtathletikanlage enthält zusätzlich auch einen Wassergraben, vier Weitsprunggruben und einen gesonderten Bereich für Hochsprung und Hammerwurf.

Mit eigens für die Anforderungen der Luftfracht modifizierten Geräten, die insbesondere die Ein- und Ausreise von und nach Israel erschwerten, wurden vor Ort unter anderem die Ebenheit, die Dicke, die Nachgiebigkeit und die Verformung überprüft. Nach drei Tagen Aufenthalt in Israel waren die Prüfungen vor Ort abgeschlossen und die Muster für die Laboruntersuchungen entnommen. Vor dem Rückflug blieb danach noch etwas Zeit für eine Ausfahrt nach Jerusalem.

Royale Eröffnung bei neuartiger Sporthalle
Am 30. Oktober landete der Hubschrauber der englischen Prinzessin Anne auf dem Schulfeld der Samuel Ward Akademie, die in Haverhill liegt. Ihr Besuch wurde zur offiziellen Eröffnung der neuen 1.550 m² großen Sporthalle, die von SMC2 entworfen wurde.
Prinzessin Anne sagte: „Ich kann sehen, dass der Bereich Sport dieser Schule nicht fremd ist, und es ist eine Freude, zu sehen, dass sie dafür mehr investiert hat“. Die brandneue Sporthalle wurde für eine vielseitige sportliche Nutzung entworfen: Netball, Cricket, Basketball und Badminton. Das französische Unternehmen SMC2 hat das Bauwerk entwickelt. Dank eines besonderen Befestigungs- und Spannsystems, mit dem eine Textilmembran auf ein Holz- und Stahltragwerk aufgebracht wird, wird nach Unternehmensangaben eine neue Generation von Sportgebäuden auf dem Markt eingeführt, die sowohl während des Baus als auch des Betriebs
wirtschaftlich und umweltschonend sind.
Beim Bau wurden Baustoffe mit einem geringen ökologischen Fußabdruck eingesetzt: Recycelbarer Stahl, zu 100 Prozent wieder verwertbare Textilmembranen und Holz, das aus nachhaltig bewirtschafteten Wäldern stammt. Während der Nutzung soll der Energieverbrauch durch die maximale Ausnutzung des Tageslichts und die Minderung von Heizkosten eingedämmt werden. Das Hauptziel ist es, wirtschaftliche und umweltgerechte Baumethoden mit optimalen Spielbedingungen zu vereinen. Die Lichtdurchlässigkeit der Textilmembran garantiert Helligkeit sowie homogenes natürliches Licht, und die geringe thermische Trägheit der Textilhülle sorgt für ein wohltemperiertes Raumklima, auch im Sommer. Die gekrümmte Formgebung bietet zusätzlich einen speziellen akustischen Komfort.

Kletterhallenboden kommt gut an
Fehler passieren überall und in einer Kletterhalle führt beim Sturz des Kletterers ein Sicherungsfehler oft zum Aufprall auf den Boden. Verletzungen gibt es bei jeder Sportart, doch beim Klettern sind Folgen eines Bodensturzes aus größeren Höhen oft gravierend. Deshalb hat sich der Fallschutzbodenhersteller BSW aus Bad Berleburg auf Anfrage Gedanken um einen Boden gemacht, der die Folgen eines solchen Sturzes weniger dramatisch ausfallen lässt. Das Ergebnis ist ein Kletterhallenboden mit Namen regugym climb. In Bezug auf Stürze aus mehreren Metern Höhe hat der Boden von BSW hohe Qualitäten, da er der Verzögerung einen längeren Weg gibt.
Der Sicherheitsboden regugym climb ist auch in der Nordwandhalle in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg installiert worden und konnte hier seine Leistung unter Beweis stellen. Nach einem Sturz aus 14 Metern Höhe war der Kletterer verletzungsfrei und es konnte nach einer Pause und dem OK der Ret-
tungsassistenten wieder weiter geklettert werden. Stürze ab der dritten oder vierten Expresse werden so abgefedert, dass die herkömmlichen Verletzungen wie Fersenbein-, Handgelenks-, und Steißbeinbrüche nahezu ausbleiben würden.
Als Kletterer und auch als Sicherer sollte man sich nicht nur auf die Leistungen des Bodens verlassen, sondern weiterhin ordnungsgemäß Klettern und Sichern und Fahrlässigkeitsfehler vermeiden. Denn meistens liegt es an der falschen oder mangelnden Sicherungstechnik, die zu den Unfällen führt. Als Hallenbetreiber kann man mit Hinweisschildern und Einführungskursen das Risiko falscher Sicherungstechniken zwar verringern, da jedoch der Leidtragende bei Sicherungsfehlern immer der Kletterer ist, bietet der Fallschutzboden diesem eine „second chance“, wie solche Böden in englischen Anlagen bezeichnet werden.
