1 Copenhagen 2018 EXCLUSIVELY FOR IAKS MEMBERS IAKS STUDY TRIP TO INNOVATIVE SPORTS AND LEISURE FACILITIES IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK 24 / 25 MAY 2018 LIMITED! 30 TICKETS ONLY!

2 PROGRAMME The countries of Scandinavia, first and foremost Denmark, are pioneers of innovative sports and leisure facilities. Copenhagen s population enjoys a high quality of life, with the numerous experimental exercise spaces undoubtedly contributing to general well-being. Creativity has brought with it appreciation: the last few years, a total of six sports and leisure facilities have been commended with the IOC IPC IAKS architecture award. Copenhagen has thus quietly evolved into the capital city of our architecture award for exemplary sports facility architecture. The 2018 IAKS Study Trip gives you the unique opportunity to get to know the lighthouse projects in Copenhagen in the space of two days. Tour futuristic sports facilities, indoor and outdoor: be it in the harbour, on the roof of a multi-storey car park, as a welcome addition to a socially deprived district or on the sloping roof of a waste incineration plant. Cast a glance behind the scenes in areas you would have no access to without the study trip. Find out about successful operation strategies. Talk to the architects and let yourself be inspired by their innovative ideas. Make sure you don t miss the IAKS Study Trip 2018! THURSDAY, 24 MAY :00 h Departure of the tour coach from Hotel Scandic Hvidovre (for all guests who have arrived on the previous day) 10:00 h Start of the tour by coach at airport CPH 10:30 h Kastrup Sea Bath Kastrup Sea Bath extends from the beach park in Kastrup into the Øresund and forms a lively part of the shore promenade. The project comprises a central building corpus built on the water, a newly created beach and an adjacent service building with toilets and disabled-friendly changing room. A milestone in urban regeneration: a formerly neglected beach has evolved into a popular leisure location. The simple idea of a quay, as can often be found at sea bathing venues, has been converted into a unique public experience. The facility is highly accessible and permits a new form of water usage. IOC IAKS Award in Bronze in 2009 and IPC IAKS Distinction in :30 h Amager Bakke Skiing in Copenhagen? This will be possible from the autumn of 2018 in an unusual location. Amager Bakke is a waste incineration plant in Copenhagen. Burning 400,000 tonnes of waste each year, it supplies 160,000 households with district heat and 62,500 homes with electricity. On its sloping roof is an artificial ski slope consisting of over 1,500 metres of brush-type surfacing and a viewing platform. Skiing for everyone, including those who cannot afford a skiing holiday. 12:00 h The Prism The Prism is a multifunctional sports hall for sports and cultural activities with innovative architecture. The façade cladding consists of polycarbonate panels which contrast with the surrounding buildings and light up at night. This unusual sports hall embodies the concept of the indoor common where the whole family can go on a rainy Sunday. The parents visit the local library while the children let off steam in the playfully designed hall. 13:00 h Snack (planned at the House of Culture near Islands Brygge,

3 PROGRAMME THURSDAY, 24 MAY :15 h Walk through the harbour comprising the Copenhagen Harbour Bath and Kalvebod Waves Harbour Bath The Harbour Bath is used more like a beach than a swimming pool. With its location in the centre of the harbour, the Harbour Bath has become a byword for leisure and water culture in the heart of the city. It is readily identifiable from the land and from the nearby Langebro bridge and essentially symbolises the new opportunities that the converted harbour offers modern urban life. The Harbour Bath has become a popular meeting place, particularly for children and young people from all over Copenhagen. IPC IAKS Distinction 2007 Kalvebod Waves With its undulating cycle- and walkways of wood and concrete, the Kalvebod Waves leisure area in the harbour basin is an attractive hang-out. In its interior are facilities for paddle-boating, which gives the facility an additional sporting dimension, as well as swimming opportunities. The new commercial buildings erected on the shore have thus been given a new front garden on the waterfront. What met with a lot of hostility during the project phase is now the most attractive feature of a leading Danish bank built behind it. 15:15 h Streetmekka The Danish weather in winter is not conducive to spending time outside. It may seem paradoxical to transfer vibrant street life into a hall, but StreetMekka is just the right solution for an active population. StreetMekka is a 2,200 m² hall for basketball, parkour, dance and football: a multi-cultural youth centre for the physical and musical street culture of the capital city. IOC IAKS Award Special Prize in :45 h Gyngemosehallen The gym is situated in a residential quarter on the urban fringe and contains gymnastics equipment, a fitness training room, playroom and exercise hall. It is available to users from 5 am to 12 midnight. The strategy of the Gyngemosehallen is remarkable, in that the user is given a user s pass and is personally responsible for the facility s proper use. During the day, the facility is available for schools, after which it is used by daytime users and in the evening by clubs. 18:00 h Return to Hotel Scandic Hvidovre 19:15 h Departure for dinner together in a restaurant typical of the region 22:00 h Return trip to hotel by coach

4 PROGRAMME FRIDAY, 25 MAY :00 h Departure from hotel Scandic Hvidovre 09:30 h Superkilen Superkilen is the term for a kilometre-long urban space in a strongly multi-ethnic urban quarter. The project reflects residents multi-cultural heritage and brings everyone together in a global neighbourhood. The park contains over a hundred different elements of urban furniture, play equipment, sculptures and lighting from the 62 countries of origin of the local population, including fitness equipment from the USA, table tennis tables from Spain, a boxing ring from Thailand, a slide from Russia, swings from Iraq and a climbing frame from India. IOC IAKS Award in Gold in :00 h Exercise space on the roof of a multi-storey car park in Nordhavn A roof garden with facilities for various outdoor sports and activities for adults and children has been created 24 metres up on the roof a 7-storey car park. The garden provides space for crossfit, running, football and trampoline and is open 24 hours per day. Users enjoy the view of the new urban quarter. A fine example of the creation of sports and exercise spaces in densely built urban areas. 12:00 h Snack in Nordhavn 13:30 h Israels Plads The history of Israels Plads reflects the history of Copenhagen s transformations: formerly sited near the town walls, and later a vibrant marketplace until the 1950s, when it was turned into a lifeless car park. Israels Plads was revitalised in It provides space for people of all kinds who enjoy exercising and spending time there and serves as a playground for three nearby schools. 5 million users per year enjoy the quality of the space s ambience. The plaza spreads out like a carpet; the cars have been swept under the carpet and now park in the basement.

Streethallen is unsupervised and open around the clock. All activities are organised and regulated by the hall s users. The activities range from football, basketball and handball to Pilates, dance, table tennis and baby gymnastics. 16:00 h Arrival at airport
