House of Movement

Abstract: The project focuses on a new production of a Community College with a Physical Education program in a forest area north of Alberga. It will be a facility with multiple gyms which are used during daytime by students and during night by the citizens of Alberga and the close by neighborhoods for organized sports. The main focus for the building is to serve as a "House of sports" for the people but also as a space which can be used for other activities that requires larger open interior spaces such as community markets during fall, evening courses for adults etc. Open spaces for studies on the top floor will also enable self studies, both for the students at the community college but also for the youths of Alberga who go to school at a different location. It will give the opportunity for group projects and homework in a neutral environment that doesn't require the student to have a desk, computer etc. at home which can be a great help for those in a tight economic situation. The strategy for the project builds on an understanding for Physical Education on a Community college level for different types of active professions and which types of facilities they require. Apart from that it requires synergies for a space to be used for different activities to be able to fit different people and different purpose. All spaces in this project need to be multi-functional and well planned to fit their purposes but maily to be able to change for future use.
