IOC/IAKS Award: Project of the month 11/2008
Berlin (D) - Winterbadeschiff
IOC/IAKS Award Silver
The bathing ship in Berlin is an excellent illustration of how a very special open-air pool complex situated in an unusual place for a pool, but in a scenario that is nevertheless familiar in many towns, can provide an urban population with enjoyment and – equally important – with facilities to improve their health too. It has transformed a previously anonymous part of the riverbank into an attractive meeting place for city society.
So that the public can continue to enjoy bathing here even into the winter months the designers opted for a felicitous, impressively designed mobile roof construction. Unfortunately there is no wheelchair access, otherwise an even better rating would have been possible.
