Sammanfattning

This project will give Eskilstuna residents a place to be and practice sports and cultural activities along the river. The project is a renovation of an old factory that gets a new identity and that continues to be an asset to the city and its people. The project was based on the autumn's analysis of the place where the Eskilstuna suburbs' young people's opportunity to meet and practice sports and culture were narrow. This project has become a supplement to enrich young people's everyday lives and leisure time and bridge socio-economic challenges. By making a fantastic place available and offering space for creativity and recreation, the building is reopened to the public. The square that previously existed is recreated to open up to the water and creates a place to rest. In the culture and sports center, there are workshops where young people have access to clay, textile, steel and wood workshops. A sports hall has been created in the northern house volume with open galleries from different floors to open up and make the sport accessible to those who can not participate physically. The building is initially over dimensioned with a concrete and column system and allows it to be rebuilt and allows future changes, which provides incentives to renovate and preserve as much of the existing building as possible. The project has been developed with small changes that generate great values for the everyone. A necessary vertical solution was designed in the form of a light shaft. The building is for everyone and for everyone's equal value to have access to beautiful places, culture, sports and a leisure time without requirements.
