, large and small facilities: the IOC IPC IAKS architecture prizes 2023

👉 What about you? Is your project worthy of the 2023 award? 🏆 See link in comments for submission process.

Back in 2021, the “Almeauen Skate Park” in Büren, Germany was awarded the "IPC IAKS Distinction“. Betonlandschaften have created a skate park in the historic centre of the town of Büren. The Alme brook winding through it was the inspiration for the Flowpark and its notion of the „free-wheeling experience of flow“, in two senses. Firstly, the meandering course of the Alme inspired the shape of the „flowing“ skate park (Flowpark). And, secondly, skateboarders as well as users of longboards, BMX and MTB bikes, inline and roller skates and scooters can enjoy the free-wheeling experience of flow..

It is this kind of exceptional creativity that is commended by the IOC IPC IAKS architecture prizes. They pay tribute to all kinds of exercise spaces – everything from the small neighbourhood facility to buildings for large-scale events.

Watch out: 2023 winning projects will be presented to all trade fair visitors at by Koelnmesse 24-27 Oct

It will also look at ways in which sports and leisure facilities can enhance their overall building performance, with input from leading stadium and leisure centre operators and academics from around the UK and Europe.
This networking event is bringing together clients, operators, consultants and designers to discuss best practice in the design and operation of sports and leisure facilities, including innovation in the operation of major venues and the design of sustainable facilities.
