The open-air event in Elinor-Ostrom-Park is an invitation for local residents and experts to talk about outdoor spaces for the public — especially for young people. Two international landscape architecture firms provide stimulating input.
Where and how can recreational outdoor spaces be created for the future in dense urban fabric? In Copenhagen, JAJA Architects have transformed the roof of a multi-storey car park into a public play and exercise area that soars 24 metres above the city and providing new vistas. La Linea is the name of Uniola’s design for the ‘green thread’ of Seestadt, which will become a designated ‘play street’ for everyone.
The open-air lectures and talks in the park are accompanied by local catering and a wide range of physical activities and games.
