| we❤️Istanbul | Staying in the historic Sultanahmet District next to the Basilica Cistern, we had a spectacular rooftop view and were able to explore the many attractions of Istanbul on foot. We experienced a power outage but missed the earthquake. Photo: Blue Mosque #bluemosque #sophiahagia #grandbazaar #spicebazaar #basilicacistern #topkapipalace #gulhanepark #hammam #andmanymore
| Breaking Barriers | Several Open Platform sport projects are about breaking barriers - Barriers between sports facilities and their surroundings, barriers between people, barriers between audience and athletes. Our series of sunken sports fields enhances the accessibility. The photo shows our proposal for Falkonergården Gymnasium in Denmark. We didn’t win. But just like in the world of sports, you never lose. You either win or you learn. We kept refining the concept and eventually won. #openplatform #architecture #sportsarchitecture #youwinsomeyoulosesome
| OPping the Game! | A multibane is a multi-purpose sports field, well-know from school yards, sports facilities and public space all over Denmark. It often takes up a large area but is rarely used by others than preteen boys. This makes the standard multibane mono-functional and standoffish. When LOA asked @op_openplatform and @nl_architects to design a Multibane Version 2.0 - accessible and attractive to as many people as possible - we accepted the challenge. A sunken sports field eliminates the physical and visual barriers and allows onlookers to interact with the players. The excavated soil is used for shaping the surrounding landscape. Our first multibane is part of a large sports complex containing Randers soccer stadium, a swimming pool and several sports halls, which makes it a popular hang-out at all hours. Hard-surfaced paths ensure comfortable access for wheelchairs and are popular among roller skaters and skate boarders as well. A young player called our job “Well done!”. Which is all we need to know… @lokaleoganlaegsfonden #architecture #multipurpose #sportsarchitecture @randerskommune #finishes #oppingthegame #openplatform
