Walking Together, at Your Own Pace
Our proposal reimagines the arrival to the sports center as a seamless, dignified and welcoming experience. Designed for every body and every way of moving, it frames accessibility not as a constraint to be mitigated, but as a shared quality of use.
Two core ideas shape our vision:
Arrival as a choice, never a detour. Each person decides their own route - a flowing promenade or a more direct crossing. Equality emerges from offering diverse paths without hierarchy.
Inclusion with ease, without thresholds or signals. No obstacles, no markers of exception - transitions, landings and interfaces are designed to be intuitive, universal and welcoming.
This design embodies the strength of invisible accessibility. Former thresholds become places to inhabit: a sensory garden, an expanded welcome landing, a reception desk with varied heights. Subtle technology - adaptive detection, discreet lighting cues - ensures fluid movement for all, without drawing lines between users.
More than an access point, this is an experience of shared dignity. Arrival becomes a moment to breathe, orient and feel welcome. It goes beyond regulatory compliance, making entry a gesture of mutual care and openness.
Our approach reflects a sensitive vision of urban life - turning the sports center into a place where everyone can walk together, at their own pace.
(From competitor's text)
The proposal gives the impression of a simple levelling of the site and responds mainly to compliance objectives. It is characterized by numerous small, scattered interventions, using technology, but without any major structuring ideas.
