Join the free livestream webinar on 27th September, dedicated to transformation and rehabilitation. IAKS Nordic is teaming up with Tverga to discuss how to transform old buildings into sustainable sports facilities.
Why build new standard sports facilities when we can repurpose old buildings to reduce our carbon footprint, meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and adjust to new sport and culture trends?
Constructing new facilities often comes with high costs not just financially, but also in terms of CO2 emissions. While new cultural and sports buildings continue to emerge in Norway, there is a growing emphasis on reusing existing structures and materials as a strategy to combat climate change.
How can we create vibrant sports activities in old buildings? What successful examples can we learn from, both in Norway and across the Nordic region?
Join us for the IAKS webinar "Old Spaces, New Moves" this September, where we will explore these topics and more.
Date: Friday, September 27th
Time: 9.00 – 11.00 am (GMT+2)
Platform: Livestream Webinar
Webinar language: English
