URBAN POWER designed the proposal for the comprehensive transformation, backed by experts and practitioners within the field of street sport, art and culture.
The building is transformed from abandoned factory to a true Mekka for the children and youngsters of Aalborg, with many functions besides just street sports.
The non-profit organisation GAME who run the facility in close collaboration with the users, has a focus on educating young people in becoming street sport instructors and role models.
As such, the facility also incorporates a café and a study room for the children to do their homework in. The design creates a continuance between the indoors and outdoors for the central activities by making use of the dramatic landscape immediately outside.
